| Description/Remarks | Image depicts a grey and white sinuous line travelling from the lower left edge to the centre of the print, bulging in a large curve before continuing to the lower right corner of the print; each side of the line appears textured or scraped against an overall red-coloured ground. From Waringarri Aboriginal Arts - "Print Decsription: I am guardian for Yirralalem - the traditional country belonging to my mother. Curving through a rocky ridge at Yirralalem is a creek called Warwoolem. This is frill neck lizard (gerrdan) country made during the Dreamtime. At the centre of the image in the curved part of the creek is a freshwater spring. The textured markings represent the marks made by Gerrdan as he clawed at the hillside." |
