Provenance: Watiyawanu Artists, Mount Liebig, NT, Cat No. 77-07381
Artwork story: In this painting on canvas, Rock Holes Near The Olgas water places, such as Pirupa Akla are marked by sets of concentric circles, their dazzling presence representing their powerful life-giving significance, rather than their actual size. The actions of the White Cockatoo and Crow ancestors are encrypted as dotted patches that reference topographic features associated with the Dreaming.
