The painting:
Near Maningrida, there is a billabong where lives a big snake, on the other side grows some sweet grass and bush potato. When people want to cross the billabong to get the grass and the potatoes to eat, they have to break some branches and leaves and put them in the water to make the snake quiet so it won't attack you and drown you.
The artist:
Doris Gingingara was born in Maningrida Arnhemland in 1946. She spent her childhood in the traditional way with her parents and her tribe, hunting and gathering.
