Ngudjung is the story for my painting.

"It's about Women's Lore; it's about the connection of all things.
It's about the seven sister dreaming, that is a story that governs our land and our universal connection to the dreaming.
It is also about the connection to the ocean where our dreaming stories that come from the ocean life that feeds us, teaches us about survival, amongst the sea life.
It is stories of mammals, whales and dolphins that hold sacred language codes to the universe.
It is about our existence from the first sunrise to present day.
We are caretakers of our mother, the land.
It is in balance with the universe to maintain peace and harmony.
This painting is about us all and tells of the past, present and future.
And it is the story that women have passed on for generations to share."
