Emily Kngwarreye's mark making and abstract references to ceremonial practice identifies the relationship between individual, country, ceremony and ancestors. Ceremony, as expressed through narrative dance and body decoration reinforces knowledge about staples, such as bush foods and water sources, as well as teaching basic social codes and obligations. Through her paintings such as Untitled, 1993, Kngwarreye passed on her knowledge to those who follow her. Untitled, 1993 can be perceived as a romantic mapping of country, an expressive record of the desert in bloom and more simply from an outsiders view, as an striking abstract painting.
