Timo Hogan calmly applies the paint to Lake Baker with the quiet authority of someone recreating the country they know intimately. He surveys the Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) of his birthright and brings this into focus on the two dimensional plane. It is this narrative within Lake Baker that forms a major portion and is where the two men encounter a powerful Wanampi (water serpent) that resides there. In this composition Timo has depicted the Two Men as the physical manifestation of two small grass knolls upon the lake and has the ever present and larger than life Wanampi already having entered his kapi piti ngura (home in the waterhole) after being out in search of food. These characters are the creation beings who shaped the landscape as they moved through it, leaving not only the indelible physical reminders of their power and presence but a moral drama for all to follow, that is also etched within the world. © Spinifex Arts Project
