Wagilag Sisters Story 1937-1997 exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra show cased paintings by Paddy Dhathungu, Dawidi and Philip Gudthaykudthay in one room. This piece by Philip Gudthaykudthay shows the triangular shapes where the ancestral witiji (olive python) hits the ground after swallowing the Wagilag sisters and their child. He is the most senior artist from Ramingining and the last active artist from the Milingimbi school of painters.

Bark paintings are elaborate ancestral paintings considered appropriate for the public domain. The fine line work ( rarrk) and figurative images of plants and animals have meaning related to particular narrative. On the left of these three close-up images are Tom Djumburpur’s olive python (witiitj), belonging to the Widumin clan country. We are working on getting our valuable collection of #barkpainting online. Watch this space !
