Description

This painting depicts the Kalaya Tjukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) west of Kintore, where the artist was born. The Emu is walking around the landscape, eating and drinking. The kapi (water hole) that Joseph paints is in the middle of the painting. This Tjukurrpa was passed down to him from his parents who taught him how to draw it in the sand. Joseph has been painting for many years and his work depicts the travels and ceremonies of his people.
