Women's Dreaming

"Women's Dreaming" is a silkscreen print by Dinny Jampijinpa. Dinny's art is characterised by the predominant use of natural ochre colours, and the designs he utilises are the same that he paints on the bodies of men taking part in ceremonies. He was first among the artists who put the traditional body paintings and sand drawings on canvas. He was a leader of the rainmaker and water dreaming ceremonies, which was important for the survival amongst the aboriginals of the desert regions of Australia.
