That’s beautiful as midcentury modern art. Very Jackson Pollock, but with a more evident structure.

Only members of a certain tribe can tell particular 'dream-time' stories, and only members of that tribe may paint the 'story' - this one sounds as if it's straight out of 'Worlds In Collision':

Artist's Story

People have been living in this area from long, long time ago. They didn't come from Africa , like Kartiyas (Whites) say. We bin already here. We started here. The land was flat first. Some people were living all around the area. They saw a big bright light come down from the sky, coming down like a ball of fire. It shook the ground. The people hid in a cave, because the ground shook real strong.

They saw dust coming up from the ground. When that settled down they were talking to each other. They didn't want to go closer where that thing fell. They never touched that area. The star that fell down was evil. It was an evil thing.

The flies came out of the hole and the snakes made their home at the crater. The flies were formed by the rain coming down to cool down the ball of fire. Then things started to change and there was plenty of bush meat to hunt.

(I never cease to wonder when I read that...we just don't take enough notice of the legends.)
