About the Artwork:

The old people talk about the Milky Way, there's different stories, Mayalarri Seven Sisters and the Jarnkurna emu. In the Milky Way, you can see a Jarnkurna emu. When the Milky Way turns up in the cold season, it means it's time for nesting and they lay their eggs.  The man Emu sits on the eggs and raise the chicks until they are independent and then he runs away from them.
