As intricate as these artworks look, I'm glad that it can be translated, making people understand the story behind it and the artist.

Lovely art work to accompany this piece. My Aunt sent me an Aboriginal jigsaw and I'm currently working my way through it and to most people it would actually be impossible to do...but there's a key to understanding its actual translation. Bit like what this piece is trying to explain here. Follow a line and the line will uncover the pattern and the pattern will give you the insight into the bigger picture and how to translate the image. That's what I learned in trying to get a start to this jigsaw, if you're of a Western mind it's not easy to "find the foothold" into an image but the title of the book "The Songlines" cracked the mystery. Like a line out of a physical song, the actual lyric...follow the art representation and the whole words and music will reveal itself. Perhaps not at once but in words and in verses... I'll have to try and find more jigsaws like this...I just love the Aboriginal art...it's wonderfully colourful and uplifting.

Firstly, dot art is a western medium, Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image or symbol. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed this technique in 1886 in Europe and introduced to Papunya Tula and "dot painting" In 1971-1972, by White art teacher Geoffrey Bardon who encouraged Aboriginal people (Senior Lore Men/Women Artists), in Papunya, North West of Alice Springs to put their Dreaming stories onto canvas. Before white man materials, canvas, paints, brushes etc.. But! in saying that the old people/ ancient elders over thousands of years would create the ceremony stories and dreaming's on mother earth at scared locations, by utilizing ochre pigments, and raw indigenous materials. These unique symbolic sacred images and motifs decorations where placed on the body by both Women, Men & Children for ceremonial sacred creation and Lore. The central desert and other traditional communities throughout Australia creates traditional stories associated to their community, Country and traditional stories handed down from grandfather and grandmother dreaming connection to family members. Now fast forward 48 years to date, there has been a unique evolution of Modern , Urban, City based Aboriginal people in the arts particularly, if you grew up as example without culture or ceremony and sacred stories handed down. What has happened is that many of our Aboriginal people, indigenous communities are finding, expressing and exploring their personal connection to country, and are incorporating the dot style techniques as well as the cross hatching technique's of Arnhemland, Northern Territory into their creative works.

John Smith - further, Fred Meyers described in a 2013 paper submitted to the anthropological journal 'Ethnos' how the ontological transformations of artistic visual styles have developed from these colonial influences. He argues the relationship between land and these acrylic style paintings found particularly among the Pintupi people of the Western Desert is far more complex than some euro-centric interpretations have led us to believe; that rather than simply depicting and distancing country, indigenous artists are setting down the symbolic and multilateral nature of their cosmology, albeit in a manner safe for outside consumption.

HATCHING OUT. Our Ancestors were peasants depending very much on weather conditions: so, they would regularly look at the sky scrutinising the clouds and the winds. The father was allocated the more responsibilities When it came to Religion, God has been located in the sky, being associated with a father image. Added to that, wars and conflicts have been giving a geo politics content to Religions. Today most people spend much more time looking at their phone than at the sky, and when they watch a sunset or rise it is in the company of that same phone or equivalent. So, here we go!, It becomes tempting to lift the technology and science into Religions, into the Spiritual World! This orientation is encouraged by the global Politics of the day. If Religions are helping with local identities, the 'game' is blocked at these levels, with little chances of evolution. Both Politics and Religions do not allow these static attitudes to be used as steps forward: this is probably why toxic gurus have been associated with this blockage. As a consequence the Western World has this inner pressure cooker feeling. Those living through Colonial times were, for most, just living their life, just as well today we are doing what we do, and most of us do not realise we still are under Paternalist rules, when many signs indicate that it is time to enter another cycle called self-realisation or Self-actualization. A necessarily difficult time to get rid of old skin and open our eyes to the usefulness of Traditional Cultures aiming at this transition! What the technical Left is doing is obviously not an answer when it demands non-partisan genuine involvement.

Aboriginal art is a decoration , not a written language. Only the painter would know the meaning. I worked with the Aboriginal artist of the year in the 90's . He is noticeably mostly white and uses water based acrylic paint and moved from cotten buds to syringes to create the dots . So unoriginal.
