Catalogue Note

This painting is sold with an accompanying Warlayirti Artists certificate that reads in part: 'This painting is set in Boxer's traditional country, along the banks of Sturt Creek, and depicts a part  of the Rainbow Dreaming Story. The white bands are clouds, as they let loose the rain onto the Sturt Creek basin, while the other bands of colour show Sturt Creek through different stages of flooding and drying out. The pink that dominates this painting is the flood waters as they run between the different waterholes. The small, dynamic black triangle is water flooding into the Ngarradi waterhole.'
