Kanta was born around the 1940's at a place called Kapi Piti Kutjara. Kanta, a senior Spinifex woman is knowledgeable about many areas in Spinifex country including the Minyma Tjuta (Seven Sisters) Tjukurpa, a central theme in the lives of Western Desert women. In this story seven women, all sisters are travelling through the country on a vast journey which takes them from Coolgardie right across the desert to Port Augusta in SA. Along the way the sisters are being pursued by Wa Nyiru, the cheeky old man in pursuit of a wife, preferably the oldest sister, Kampukurtja. During his pursuit, Nyiru disguises himself in various ways to trick the sisters but is eventually outsmarted by them. The women fly up into the sky to form the constellation of Pleiades seen in the southern sky.
The women’s journey and sites travelled are represented by the many rockholes or roundalls in this painting. The two snakes are food the women were digging for.
