For the Aboriginal People of Australia, their country is more than a place to live. Every mountain, river, waterhole, tree, animal etc. are part of their dreaming. Per the Aboriginal dreaming, it is believed that all was created by their ancestors, who live in the five elements of nature: air, land, water, sky, and fire.
Aboriginal people strictly follow an unwritten law of caring for the land, animal, bush etc. of their country, to pass on to newer generations. Often, a place with rock art, waterhole, and wild bush; is referred as a Creek where the Aboriginal women gather to either find food, fetch water or perform a ceremony or a ritual. The artists engrave their dreamings on mountains and/or rocks as a message to future generations and also to embark their skill.
The artists:
Gathering by the Creek by Janet Long Nakamarra comes from Utopia region of Central Australia. She belongs to the Nakamarra family and speaks Anmatyerre language. Her dreamings mainly involve Fire Dreaming, Underground Water, Sandy Creek etc.
Dreamtime Riverbed - Aboriginal people have been living in Australia for approximately 60,000 years. Australia is the driest continent on Earth and Aboriginal people are dependent on the creeks and rivers for their survival and remember the rivers by telling stories, singing songs, visiting dry river beds and painting pictures of a place or area onto canvas, in caves, etc. The Utopia region of Australia is the home of many aboriginal people covering over 3500 square kilometres in the vicinity of the Sandover River.
Anna Pitjara has painted her interpretation of dry river beds onto canvas which has then been printed to fabric. This beautiful design shows people walking through the river bed and discussing how to maintain the river for future generations.
