Honey Ant Dreaming

The Honey Ant Dreaming was a mural painted in early 1971 from June to August by Pintupi tribesmen on the outer wall of the school where Geoffrey Bardon taught in Papunya, Northern Territory, Australia.

[1] The principal artist was Kaapa Tjampitjinpa[2] who had the assistance of Billy Stockman and Long Jack Tjakamarra.

"[4] The Honey Ant Dreaming mural was revised at least two times before it was painted over by a maintenance worker in 1974.

In the newer version the original, knot-like patterns were replaced by simple cartoon-like representations, which Bardon objected to.

Victoria Finlay notes that "all the versions [of Honey Ant Dreaming] were in ochre colors, red, yellow, and black.
