This work depicts – from an aerial perspective - the ground designs for the sacred ceremonies for Freddy Kngwarreye Jones’s Dreaming – the Red Kangaroo. The Red Kangaroo leaves tracks stretching for hundreds of kilometres each track linking a series of Dreaming sites at waterholes. The painting can be viewed as a map of the journey of the Kangaroo Dreaming.
The four Dreaming sites in this painting are identified with the Dreamtime being - the Kangaroo - who jumped up, or stopped or went down there. The u-shapes represent the indentations made by man when he sits and the circles represent the men whose bodies are covered in down, paint and ocher, sitting in circles ‘singing in’ the young men. Meticulously executed because of the importance of his subject matter, Freddy Kngwarreye Jones’s work is precise and extremely masculine.
