Narbula Scobie Napurrula Women's Ceremony 2005
Acrylic on cotton 400 x 700mm $1200
Narbula has painted a women's dance ceremony. The central circle represents the nulla nulla or dancing pole. The long swirling lines
leading to this central point are the dance lines made by the Aboriginal women as they move to the central point. The 2 dance groups are
of different skin groups - maybe Napaltjarri & Napanangka. The women get painted up with body paint and their breasts feature on
either side of the nulla nulla. The segmented designs to the edge represent her country.
