Artwork Description
This Dreaming comes from the Gibb River Road area where Yvonne is from and only her people have permission to tell the story or paint it.
Two little boys caught the owl – knocked it down. They pulled out his feathers and threw him in the air three times. On the third time he flew away, despite the fact he had no feathers left. He went to the Wandjina – the Rain God – and the TaTa Lizard told where the boys were. A big cloud came and a cyclone blew – the Brolga danced – the quicksand was made.
The boys tried to escape by holding on to the Kangaroo’s tail – the Kangaroo ran towards the Boab Tree, which opened up, took the boys inside then closed forever. The “other mob” depicted in the painting ran with fear into the Quicksand and perished.
The Rain God was satisfied – the owl was safe – the rainbow came out and all was well again.
