Sisters at Watarru - Violet and Teal on Blue (Cotton) 50cm

Sisters at Watarru - Violet and Teal on Blue (Cotton) 50cmIn this design, Noreen Dixon depicts the story of two female ancestors, sisters, in the Watarru area in South Australia. These sisters are fleeing a man who is pursuing them, hiding in rockholes and caves amid the sandy desert plains. The hypnotising background patterns of lines and dots represent the vast sands of the desert. The younger sister is pregnant; this is indicated by the large symbol of concentric circles, which is the design painted onto
