Seven Sisters Painting

Original hand-made painting created with acrylic paints on high-quality streched cotton canvas ready to hang. Edges are painted in black. The painting is coated with a high-gloss varnish, signed on the back and delivered with a certificate of authenticity from the artist. This painting is a personal interpretation of a sacred legend (Jukurrpa) using the codes of dot-painting in aboriginal art. The creator god, Jindoo (the sun), sends two Spirit Men, Woddee Gooth-tha-rra, from the far end of the Milky Way down to the Earth Yulbrada to create the hills, valleys, lakes, and oceans. Once they have finished their work, Jindoo sends the Seven Sisters (each a star in the Milky Way) to beautify the Earth with flowers, trees, and animals. As the sisters are busy creating honey-ants, they become thirsty, and the youngest sister is sent to find water. The two Spirit Men, in hiding nearby, follow her, and introduce themselves to her. The youngest sister does not return to the other sisters, and so they go in search of her. They find her with the Spirit Men, and she tells them that she has fallen in love with the men. Jindoo has warned the sisters that if such a thing were to happen, the person who fell in love would be unable to return to the Milky Way. As a result, the other six sisters leave for the Milky Way and the youngest sister remains on the Earth with the Spirit Men. The special powers of the Spirit Men are taken away from them, and they become the first mortals. These mortals create the rules by which men must live, and their union with the youngest sister creates the first indigenous people. The Wong-gu-tha believe that all of their people are descended from the two Spirit Men and the youngest sister, and thus the stars play a central role in their cultural beliefs.
