Life in Rainbow Country (Arrente Country – Yipirinya) 1983 – The White Kangaroo & 1970’s The Praying Mantis Man & His Companion, the Little Person (Man) 1970’s Fish straight after big rains, many different colours in the creeks and rivers west of Alice Springs Beginning of this Dreamtime till the ending – The Seven Sisters top right hand corner In my dreams in the 70’s Praying Mantis Man & his little person offsider would chase me along Gap Road in the same area every time. I’d awaken and run into my parent’s bed afraid. The white kangaroo is the Kadaitji man. I saw him face to face in 1983 east of Alice Springs. In Aranda culture we are not to look at him. I stared for more than 10 minutes. I ended up with lots of boils in both my kidneys for 1 month. I paint what I’ve seen. It’s still alive, parts of the Dreamtime. Enjoy my painting.
