14. Peewee Dreaming, Makinti Napanangka, 36" x 36 " (92
x 92cms) 2004
The lines in this painting represent spun hair string, used in the manufacture of hair string belts, worn during the women's ceremonies associated with this place. Hair string belts are often used symbolically to represent the act of women dancing. The belts, worn above the hips have dangling strings often with feathers attached which swing about as the women dance highlighting their attractiveness. Makinti is one of the most exciting Pintupi artists painting today. In the January 2003 issue of Australian Art Collector she was named as among the top fifty of Australia's Most Collectable Artists.
