Tingari, size 1800 x 1200 mm.

Dreaming: Ronnie's work follows the Pintupi style of strong circles joined together by connecting lines relating to the people, country and Dreamtime. Tingari Cycle refers to rites and practices associated with the secret song cycle sacred to initiated men. The Tingari are Dreamtime Beings who travelled across the landscape performing ceremonies to create and shape the country associated with Dreaming sites. The Tingari ancestors gathered at these sites throughout the Western Desert for Maliera (initiation) ceremonies.
