Acrylic on linen 1260 x 710mm SOLD
The circle in the centre represents the site at Naganalkurru (Sandy Creek). The wriggley lines going across from
the circle is the ancestal path where the ladies would danced in the dreamtime. They were the invisable women of
that country. Every morning the ladies would dance in a row towards the cave to paint the body designs on their
bodies. They would then dance back towards the stone humpies.
