Dreaming

Ngoia has special custodianship responsibilities for her country. She paints her father’s country, which is a sacred Walpiri territory associated with narratives to the ‘water snake’. The oval shapes in her paintings are iconographic representation of the swamps and lakes near Nyrripi (Talarada), North West of Mount Liebig where Ngoia lives. The dots represent the water drying up and the cracks in the ground forming. She depicts the wet and dry characteristics of the country. This region is changed with the spiritual presence of the ‘Water Snake’ which lives beneath the surface. This is the area where her father had been hunting in the past.
