Pukara
Lawrence PENNINGTON: artist
Lawrence Pennington touches the deepest qualities of the Tjukurpa in the unseen, taking the broad brush to minimal
resemblance of the characters that inhabited the first journey. He guides the significant site of Pukara effortlessly onto the
canvas, channelling the essence of Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) from a time before when Lawrence walked
throughout Spinifex Country. A time when he walked with the Song, following the physical manifestation in the landscape, left
by the creation beings, of the stories that made it so, of the characters that played out the journey.
