In this print, an ancestor figure appears among the moon and stars. To me, this figure is like an Aangu astronaut from another future.
I draw this image from a powerful engraving cut into rock out here on Country, at a secret site that is heavily protected. It also
connects to the headwear worn in inma and ceremony, carrying the presence and authority of those cultural practices.
This is a sacred story about a spirit figure who came to Country—who “made everything alive,” as I understand and carry it. But it is
also a story for all of us: a big story to share. We as Anangu people call the Milky Way Tjukatu, the great road that lies above us in
the night sky. Our people have danced and sung ceremony for the stars for a long time—children, women, and everyone together,
happy and excited, singing under the stars. This is my story, the Milky Way Storyline, held in the sky for all to see.
