22.01.2022 The Wandjina are ancestral spirits who created country, people and animals in the North West Kimberly before turning themselves into rock paintings. They are sometimes called lightning man or rain maker and every year they replenish water holes, creeks and rivers through making the wet season. The Wandjina can be vengeful if people break the law, by making savage storms and cyclones. The predominant white colouring and shape of the Wandjinas body represent water and clou...ds which are sometimes offset by the use of a red pigment, representing blood that shows us that the Wandjina are partly alive.

The Wandjina began out at sea gathering clouds and carried them across to the land, finally coming out and leaving his impression on the cave walls. People can see this in the rock art in our Country today. I have created this artwork with natural resin called goorin, a sap from the white gum tree.... We boil it up with water to dissolve it and it is a dark red colour. It is also a bush medicine. The white ochres come from the beach."

11.01.2022 This is the third painting which tells the story of the first rain. In the dry season it gets so hot and sticky and it starts to bring flies and dust and the long grass. When it gets so hot and hot and hot, the old people used to go to the cave where the Wandjina lived and ask him to bring rain. He used to ask the Wunggurr (rainbow serpent) to help. The Wunggurr would come from where he was sleeping underwater, in the salt water and hear the Wandjina calling. Hed come rushin...g with all the strength of the sea and the Wandjina tells him to bring the rain because it is so hot. The Wandjina travelled around the coast carrying the clouds and finally there is a storm, where the wind blows and the air gets cold and it rains. All the long grass falls over. This painting depicts the reflection of the Wandjina in the still fresh water. It gets calm and makes you feel happy inside and makes you forget about bad things. All the things surrounding the Wandjina are the rocks near the stream. All the pebbles in the stream glow and shine. There are big ones, small ones and long ones. Matilda Oxtoby, The First Rain #3, 2020, 120 x 45cm, natural pigment on canvas.
