Lennard has depicted the significant site of Kulyuru associated with the Minyma Tjuta Tjukurpa (Seven Sisters Creation Line) This is a major womens narrative that follows a group of young women as they traverse Spinifex Country and beyond, always evading the amorous pursuit of the lustful older man Nyiru. These are creation beings who shape the narrative within the landscape as they move through it. The 'sisters' eventually flee into the sky to become the Pelides constellation where Lennard says you can see them at sunrise in the morning sky.
