The work is classical Yuelamu and the Lightning Dreaming is associated with a sacred site known as Yinnapucka which is situated in the artist’s home country of Willowra. A great storm passed through Willowra in the Dreamtime which is shown as wavy lines and pairs of short strokes for the lightning bolts. These are flanked by longer wavy lines that represent water. The circles shown at the centre of the painting symbolize rock holes that were filled during the great storm’s journey
