Kudditji is the guardian of the emu dream, which he used to treat in the pure pointillist style (dot painting). In the early 2000s, he began to use coloured paving stones to illustrate his region. Until 2003, he alternated between the dream of the emu and the representation of his country. Then, due to the demand for his works illustrating his region with coloured paving stones, he developed this style, which made him known internationally. Some have even dubbed him the Australian Rothko. He is the brother of the great artist Emily Kame.
