Timo Hogan does not paint a picture. He paints the story. And the story is the big picture. He calmly applies the paint to Lake Baker with the quiet authority of someone recreating the country they know intimately. For here at Lake Baker, Timo tells of the religion within the landscape and the inhabitants that made it so. He surveys the Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) of his birthright and brings this into focus on the two dimensional plane for all to see.

In this composition Timo has depicted the Two Men as the physical manifestation of two small grass knolls upon the lake itself. The two men carefully monitor the lakes expanse as the ever present Wanampi (powerful water serpent) departs his kapi ngura (home in the rock hole) and becomes the fearful, commanding presence as he defines the perimeter of the lake, always watching, always aware of the Two Men. It is this interaction and movement between the residents of the lake that is ever present and allows Timo the creative latitude of a constantly changing landscape.

These characters that Timo talks of are the Creation beings of Lake Baker. It was these same Two Men, a black nosed monitor and a sand goanna who speared the said Wanampi. Hurt and writhing in pain the powerful wanampi moved the earth around him continuously until the lake we see today was formed. But the characters also intertwined a moral and spiritual framework within the habitat and covered it with sacred song and dance.
