417-24MM, Mimili Maku Arts, Tjakatu Tjukurpa (Milky Way Storyline), Synthetic polymer on linen, 92 x 62cm
In the artwork I paint is the Milky Way. We as Anangu (Indigenous Australian) people would call it Tjukatu, the Milky Way that lies above us in the night skies. The people have danced and sung ceremony for the stars for a long time: the children, women and everyone else would be happy and excited, singing under the stars. So this is my story, the Milky Way Storyline, that lies within our night sky for all to see. Also, my name is Desmond Woodforde. Thank you.
