When Frost was in Yorkshire between 1956 and 1957 he completed a number of paintings with a predominantly black and white palette. They arose from the impact made upon him by the bleak sparseness of the moors, the landscape of the Wolds and the Dales and especially the high Pennines with limestone outcrops intersected by drystone walls running vertically over the contours of the hills (see D. Lewis, Terry Frost, Aldershot, 1996, p. 64).

The title of the present composition means 'a supernatural force or spirit believed by Algonquian peoples to suffuse various living things and inanimate objects'.
