"When I paint by myself, I always get inspired and motivated by the places, and I sometimes forget the name of the places. But then I say, “Baratjala, that is the place that I am painting.” And I remember hearing the men sing the songline they were singing about the big waters. And as they sang, I was painting. I’ve got my own ideas from the waters that form the outside part of the story. The deep foundations are for the men, and this is just the water—my own ideas. I will draw flames, but of burned areas where the land is smooth and burned. And I will paint the water, just the water. It will come running up and splash upon the rock. It will be just the water and the bubbles that splash. Yes, this is the meaning of the water. "
