Anmanari has painted an area to the north of Spinifex Lands. Here she has painted two bird children ancestral beings.
Drawing on ancient tradition Anmanari's works are bold and powerful abstractions of country, visual maps tracing the journeying of the ancestor beings and the land formations they created through their activities. Her recent works have moved away from any figurative representation found in her early works to broad brush strokes of colour; circles (representing water holes and or the women) and patterned lines (representing ceremonial dancing and travelling sand tracks).
