This etching was drawn on the plate by the artist at Fitzroy Crossing, WA and printed by APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne in 2014.
This etching represents the Kurtal ceremonial dance, an important tjukurrpa (dreaming) story for the Walmajarri (language group of Fitzroy Valley) and a sacred site in the Great Sandy Desert. The headdresses, which represent the clouds that the rainmakers create, are still used today in traditional dance by the men who hold the story for this sacred place.
