Kwatye 951

Kwatye The story for this painting is about my connection to the Water Dreaming. In Creation time the first drop of water fell on my mother’s country, 50km North west of Alice Springs. The Drop created the first water hole, then the first stream, the first river and then the first lake. The first time the rainbow appeared was also in the same place. The water and rain cycles are as a result of my spirit which is called Yarrapirri. I am a direct descendant of Yarrapirri. and also a direct descendant of the Female Creator Snake which comes also from my mothers country Uluru ( Ayres Rock) I am the owner of a sacred mountain in the Western Desert called Winparrku. The water Dreaming is represented by many symbols in our culture. The white dots in the centre line are the Milky way.
