This artwork was created by the artist in c.1980/82. With the use of Aboriginal iconography the depiction represents men's ceremony or also know as men's corroboree.


A corroboree is a ceremonial meeting for Aboriginal people. At a corroboree Aboriginal men interact with the Dreamtime through dance, music and costume. Many ceremonies act out events from the Dreamtime. Many of the ceremonies are sacred and people from outside a community are not permitted to participate or watch. "Their bodies painted in different ways, and they wore various adornments, which were not used every day.
