Artwork Description

This painting is about a Dreamtime story. The Ngaanyatjarra people call the site 'Kuru Yurltu'- meaning 'Hollow Eye'. This cavern-like tunnel holds a large body of water, and is the the physical representation of a dream time story in which aman is speared through the torso as punishment for a crime. This tunnel represents the hole in the man's body after being speared. Henry paints the surrounding country of this site from his grandfather and grandmother, often depicting the sand hills.

This painting needs to be framed. It's also being sent direct from the artist at a remote art centre, Tjarlirli Arts, in the top end. Please note there is only one mail plane a week that takes the artwork to the Alice Springs. The tracking information is then received a week later when the mail plane returns so often the paintings are delivered before we receive the tracking information. Please expect a slightly longer wait for this very special artwork to arrive.
