Antonia Napangardi Michaels - Lappi Lappi Jukurrpa (Lappi Lappi Dreaming) - Stretched Matisse with a flash of black

with a flash of black and white stripes to its tail feathers

the artist has captured the essence of these sacred medicinal plants in vibrant shades of yellow

The crocodile is central

mothers and fathers and children and uncles all living together

while the flora sway behind them
