Acrylic on Galacia linen 540 x 570mm SOLD
The two Gilling Gilling ladies put on their headdresses and forehead bands. It's a bead necklace around their
necks. The two circles in the middle are called Lajururru. The two ladies dancing - they taught all sorts of tricks
with leg up & down, arms waving and they get the woman's Bundimi dance. The Gilling Gilling are all at Victoria
River in Wardaman country in the caves. They still live in the caves today and they come out at night time and
make a lot of noise. They're downstream from the pub and bridge at Victoria River. There's lots of white paint
on the walls of those caves and in the Creation time they're dancing and doing all sorts of tricks.
