TDB 3. Women Dancing, Nancy Nainura, 1995, 36" x 24" For Sale

Nancy was born in this country and knows it intimately. Good food is to be found here as well as a reliable water supply. Here she has painted a story about a sacred women's law dance. She has depicted the women dancing as the black U shapes they are also painting each other up for dancing at top right. The bar shapes are digging sticks and nulla nullas which also feature in the ceremonial performance.
