The Le Pley Collection, Western Australia, acquired from the above in 2009
"This painting shows Weaver in her traditional country in the Great Sandy Desert of WA near the Percival Lakes and Well 33 of the Canning Stock route. Weaver marks herself on the canvas as the purple t-shaped form. The circle alongside her is a tree where she sat down with the Mardu people, a neighbouring language group, depicted as the cluster of circular forms alongside Weaver."
