Australian Aboriginal Art - Michael Nelson Tjakamarra
This painting depicts several of the dreamings for which Michael
Nelson Tjakamarra is the custodian. It shows a Rock Wallaby traveling
from the Rain Dreaming site of Warnipi. He arrives at Pikilyi,
intending to make his home there. However, the Two Rainbow Serpents
are fighting, so he continues his journey. The painting also includes
designs associated with the Possum and the Kangaroo Men at
Warlujaraji, a secret cave near Mt. Singleton.
Michael Nelson Tjakamarra is the winner of the 1984 National
Aboriginal Art Award and the 1993 recipient of the Order of Australian
Merit. His paintings have been exhibited in Australia, London, Mexico
and New York.
