Story Behind the Piece:
Polly’s form shimmers with quiet power, her face encased in an intricate crown of pink and white dots that ripple across the canvas like ceremonial adornments. She is the storyteller, the ceremonial guide, the one who steps forward to lead the dance and chant the songs of the Dreaming. Her presence is not merely seen—it is felt, like the hum of a didgeridoo reverberating through the night air.
Polly’s story is woven into the patterns surrounding her. The pink dots evoke the rising glow of firelight during gatherings, while the delicate white lines resemble the constellations above, reminding us that every movement and every word is connected to the cosmos. Her closed eyes signify a deep inner knowing, as though she is drawing on the strength and wisdom of generations before her.
This is a woman who carries the weight of tradition with grace. She knows the balance required to preserve the past while walking toward the future. The patterns on her face are not just decoration; they are a map—a guide for those who follow in her footsteps, showing them how to walk with dignity, strength, and respect for the land.
This painting encapsulates Polly’s essence as a bridge between worlds—the spiritual and the physical, the ancestral and the present. She invites you to listen, to learn, and to honour the timeless connection between story, people, and place.
