CreatorCharlene CarringtonTitleCrossroadsDate2006MediumOchre on canvasDimensions80cm x 80cmArtist StatementI have painted Crossroads as a tribute to one of my idols - Uncle Rover. ... this design of "Crossroads" was one of his favourites. In his desert country, the roads often meet in the middle - sometimes straight up and down and sometimes diagonally - in the wet, there is water to be found where the roads (tracks) meet.
We talked a lot when I was young - he told me stories of his country way down south - and stories about his Dreaming Corroboree - the meaning of the Krill Krill boards that he and Uncle George (Mung Mung) painted for dancing. My father painted them too and Uncle Jack (Britten). My father was a wonderful dancer (Churchill Cann).Accession Number007.2019Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
