As it transpires, over the course of the next few days Monica manages to sidestep Yirrkala, hitting the coast 300 km west at Maningrida, but what begins to form on Yunupingu's bark canvas bound for France has some of its meteorological power. Here the artist's field of shimmering stars mass into high-pressure spirals, drawing the viewer into the eye of her creative storm...
