Freddy is one of the important elders of the Utopian land. He lives at Thelye community on Utopia and this is where he sits and passes on his Dreamings to his son, Charlie Kngwarreye Jones works are depicted from an aerial perspective - the ground designs for the sacred ceremonies for his Dreamings – the Wallaby, the Caterpillar and the Old Man Kangaroo. 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’s work is very geometric and masculine.
This is the ground design for the sacred ceremony of the Wallaby. The designs are prepared on the ground during lengthy song cycles marking the journey of the Wallaby Ancestor. This represents an aerial view of the lay of the land as created by the Wallaby Ancestor.
