Cotton Throw – 125x150cm -DYM938

This piece is Damien's depiction of the Sand hills, Rocky Outcrops and Rockholes around his home country. Running through the middle of this painting is a dry riverbed. Kalipinya is a large rockhole that is considered sacred in this area. It is very deep and runs under the ground. The men will form a line down into the rockhole and pass buckets of water back along the line. The land around it is shown in a very abstract style.

This painting shows the Yam and Bush Tomato Dreamings. You can see the Yams and the small round berries of the Bush Tomatoes. The place associated with this Dreaming is west of Yuendumu. In the Dreamtine the people used to eat these fruits and vegetables, just as our old people lived off them. What I have painted here is the Dreamtime Yams and Bush Tomatoes. I painted them here for the children to see.
