Wallaby (Greyeng) Dreaming by Charlie Petyarre Jones

Wallaby (Greyeng) Dreaming

Total Price: $12,400.00

This is the ground design for the sacred ceremony of the Wallaby. The designs are prepared on the ground during lengthy song cylces marking the journey of the Ancestors whose design is depicted.


The u-shapes represent the indentations made by the man when he sits and the circles are the sacred sites around which the men congregate. The red ochre represents the blood of the Wallaby and the white and grey the bones. Charlie traces the path of the Wallaby Ancestor with meticulous background dot work.


This painting is very important and is serious work. This dreaming has been passed down to him from the renowned artists and elder in the Utopia community, Freddy Kngwarreye Jones. Charlie also paints Caterpillar and Kangaroo Dreaming which have also been passed down to him by his father.
