Description

Lucky Kngwarreye Morton depicts the patterns of the body of the Rainbow Spirit which comes to life in the form of a rainbow at the end of the storm.

Rainbow Dreaming is associated with ceremonies ensuring the fertility of species. It is capable on the one hand of bringing much needed water, but also of causing wild and violent storms.

In this remarkably intricate painting, Lucky depicts the colours of the Rainbow Ancestor in bold vibrant colours obscuring these with delicate petals of white patterning.
