Aboriginal art is an expression of culture. Each Art form re-enforces the connection Aborigines have with nature and Spirits. The images are stories of the next life developing an identity of who we really are.

While Aborigines identify their totems and dreamings through the moiety, Nature and spirits too, have a intimate understanding of the Aborigines. Therefore through aboriginal art,there's a continuing interface of the three levels, human, nature and spirit.

"The Rainbow Serpent" (left) is universal with all aboriginal people in Australia. He is the creator of all things and it is through his creation that all dreamings come to be. As mentioned in the cultural page, dreamings are stories of how aboriginal people evolved.Aboriginal art too has evolved from the stories presented in caves, to barks in the 60'to 90's and now,a modern flate canvass look in Art Galleries around the world.

The Gollomomo (The Crocodile,right) is the story about how the crocodile came to be.In this painting Paddy Fordham Wainbarrnga continues to re-enforce the cultural tradtions of the skin social structure, by presenting the two moieties, in the two differrent aboriginal groups on the bark, Dua on the bottom right hand corner and Yirritja on the top right hand corner.

It is the moeity groups that give the identity of the images Artist paint.Otherwise, aboriginal art would be imaginative, rather than descriptive.
