"Tiger has painted fantastic mamu (ghost) creatures from research and imagination. Mamu's are an important part of Anangu culture, the spirits can guide you and provide warnings in dreams, as well as scare people by hiding in the bushland. These mamus are desert creatures and Tiger has presented them in a bold and vibrant manner emerging from a deep black background."
