Small Trinket Box_Damien

Artwork by Damien and Yilpi Marks. This design is from an original painting of Damien's country, Mt. Liebig, west of Papunya. Damien's great-grandfather and his family are traveling through the desert toward Kintore, collecting food. In the bottom right-hand corner, the sun is setting over a hillside. The family stops to camp at different places along the way. The red concentric circles are dry rock holes, and the blue and white concentric circles represent rock holes that are filled with clean water, that flows into the creek. The red stripes coming out of the center of the right-hand side of the painting lead to one of these waterholes. These are the tracks of the family walking through the sand. In this painting, you can also see spinifex bushes (the yellow star-like symbols), and dry claypans with cracks in the earth.
