SPIRITS OF THE WHIRLPOOL - Aboriginal Art David Dunn


The dark colour down the bottom is David's partners shadow.

MEANING; This painting depicts the Spirits of the Whirlpool, My mate out at Trangie drown at the weir on the Macquarie river while we were camping. These Spirits are protectors they warn people of the dangers of swimming in the water and to be safe around water. This painting is in the honour of all people who have drowned or lost someone. I myself have fifteen spirits that look after me, they are always with me showing me which road to take in life they guide me. Back in creation time Baiame created all and placed certain Spirits in every thing and place. He gave Laws to these spirits and each spirit certain powers to make the aboriginal people obey his laws. The water spirits were left in places where people and animals came to drink. They were given the power to bring on new life, Storms, Floods and even droughts depending on how the people obeyed Baiame laws. They were given certain animal totems to feed the people such as fish, turtle and every other creature that lives in water. He made it Law that he who drinks water takes the water Spirit that gives new life. The Water spirits create rain and new life. Without the water spirits all would die.. My Spirits are protectors. The three circles joined by squiggly lines represent the three rivers of the "Wiradjuri Nation", The Wambool (Macquarie), Kalar (Lachlan) and Murrumbidgerie (Murrumbidgee).©
