Kudditji was a traditional custodian of his country and of the Emu story, for which he was responsible in initiating the younger men of his clan. Although not much detail is given about aspects of this initiation, it is generally understood that this involved the practical teaching of hunting the Emu as well as the spiritual story of the Emu ancestors. Kudditji's obligation was to continue this story and his intimate physical and spiritual knowledge of the Anmatyerre country was what he transferred onto his canvas.

Kudditji mixed his colors directly onto the canvas, layering the paint into a patchwork formation. His works changed throughout the day as different light sources draw out different colors and elements, whilst others recede. It is in this depth that his story of country and the story of the Emu resides, the complexity and vastness of his landscape only accessible in patches as they come to light.

Please note that all First Nations Art is created from a so called ‘Birds Eye’ view. This means that the paintings can be hung either horizontally as well as vertically.
