Tingari I (Gold and Silver Series)

Tingari ancestors are believed to have travelled through the Western Desert creating sacred sites and handing down responsibility of the continuity of all laws and ceremonies. Tingari gathered and performed at sacred sites, and this songline ritual of both ceremony, and more recently dot/circle/line painting, remain part of this continuing tradition. The (Men’s) Tingari designs are iconoclastically embedded into the essential traditions of the Western Desert art movement of the Pintupi.
