Artwork Story
‘This caterpillar dearming belongs to my brother and myself. The catapillars have made many tracks going from one tree to another where they ahve lived. This dreaming is at Nyurtipatu where the kangaroos were feeding on little black seeds. The caterpillars travelled to Nyurtipatu in a straight line helping carry each other on their back’.
