This screen-print shows the travels of the poisonous black snake in Gunamboorlayi Country near the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia. The stark black sinuous line is simultaneously his body and the path that he traveled in the Dreamtime. The circles in the print are the waterholes created by the snake. The fully black circle is where he now lives.
