Dreamtime:
Audrey martin Napanangka is an experienced artist. She has contributed many artworks and some her artworks are very popular. The Women Dreaming is one of her bestselling designs. In this artwork, she skillfully depicted the dreamtime of women and their dreaming. Her work is neat and bold. Dreaming stories pass important knowledge, cultural values and beliefs to later generations through songs, dances, paintings and storytelling. Aboriginals have maintained a link with the dreaming from ancient time to the current day, creating a large cultural heritage. This is one of the oldest cultures on earth. Women play and important part in Aboriginal life. They are taught by elders about social law and order. They do not maintain any written law. Women gather together occasionally to discuss any problem to maintain the social harmony.
