Explications sur cette œuvre :

This painting by Ngarralja Tommy May (1935) has a song and story, singing and dancing. And Inarra. This is the digging, singing, and dancing that happens when the waterhole is dug, to bring the rain. Its a ceremony for digging the Jila and bringing the rain. On and on, this story has been told and passed on. There's only three of us now, who were taught by the old people, po’bulla (poor fella).
