Raymond Walters Penangka paints the Emu Dreaming at a place called
Ngarleyekwerlang (in the Mount Allen region of Central Australia) and of which he is a custodian. As he describes: "When the emus came into Ngarleyekwerlang, they came into contact with a large group of bush turkeys who had hidden a lot of bush tomatoes in trenches within the land. The emus had been travelling for a long time, and after arriving in Ngarleyekwerlang, wanted to find and eat food. However, when the emu’s found the bush tomatoes, the turkeys wouldn’t share and a fight began. The tomatoes were scattered across the countryside, marking the landscape. My artwork is an aerial view of that land."SIGN UP TO OUR MAILING LIST FOR ALL THE NEWS
