Dreamtime Sisters by Colleen Wallace Nungari (SOLD)

The Dreamtime Sisters are good spirits dancing and looking after Colleen's country. Colleen says these sisters were once living people; her ancestors. There is a sacred site on Colleen's country where Dreamtime Sisters are carved on the rock walls, and on these walls, this is what they look like.

The circle designs throughout this painting are symbolic of waterholes scattered over the country or where women dig for arlatyeye (sacred pencil yam). The trailing yam leaves can be seen emerging from the ground at the bottom of the painting.
