Artwork description
Sandra tells us the story of the Seven Sisters. This Tjukurpa (Creation) story shows the sisters as the constellation of Pleiades and Orion is said to be Nyiru (bad man). Nyiru saw the sisters as they travelled to the west. He fell in love with them, and even though they were of the wrong skin name to marry him, he was desperate to make them his. As the women fled from Nyiru they created the country and landscape. The sisters created the rockhole’s, sandhills and rocky outcrops as they tried to escape. Eventually they created a rock hole which went deep under the ground and came up on the other side of the hill. The women dived into the water and came out on the other side to fly up into the sky. Nyiru followed them into the water and when he came out on the other side he was too late. Now, Nyiru can be seen to the south of the seven sisters, as he still chases them across the sky.
