SPIRITS OF A NATION


This painting depicts a story about the Wiradjuri people. This is what was done in a days work for the Wiradjuri people it show the hunters out hunting kangaroo, and the women are collecting the yams and bush seeds for johny cakes. The women and children also collect the small animals such as lizards, geckos and birds eggs. As we sit by our camp fires at night we would call ancient spirits to join in We tell stories, We play the didgeridoo, We sing and dance and celebrate our daily health and life. From the droning of the didgeridoo, The spirits of Our Ancestors are joining in singing and dancing flying around, swirling with the red hot flames of the fire... Our Ancestors Spirits are always with US. The Spirits represent all our ancestors that have lived on this great country. The two stars represent the owners of the painting it is there spirits that are watching over this great land which they love and respect. The Rainbow snake is the creator of all land and sea masses we see today, he is laying next to the three rivers of the Wiradjuri which is The Wambool (Macquarie), Kalar (Lachlan) and Murrumbidgerie (Murrumbidgee). The brown yellow and red dots represent the color of the natural vegetation that is grown in the area. The three circles joined by squiggly lines represent my signature and the three rivers of the "Wiradjuri Nation", The Wambool (Macquarie), Kalar (Lachlan) and Murrumbidgerie (Murrumbidgee).
