Abstract
In central Australian languages the words for ‘thinking’ and ‘understanding’ are the words for ‘listening’ and ‘hearing’. The root verb, kulini (Pitjantjatjatjara) leads to kulinara palyani; ‘to plan or work out how to do something’. This is what we are doing here; looking at these paintings; trying to ‘get the picture’ and attending to what the pictures reveal.
