Fabric: Linen, 2.4m x 1.4m I Screen Printed on Linen/Cotton blend

A two colour screen print design from 2022. Jay's first large format design to join the Bábbarra Designs Collection. 'This is my first one, I'm really happy, I'm proud. It's just a songline for everybody. This story is from my great great grandfather on my fathers side. The songline was made by my second father. The mimihs tell the story. The painting took a long time, a few weeks to finish.' Jay Jurrupula Rostron
‘Bini-murreko means two brothers – big brother and little brother. Two brothers were really strong leaders and good hunters, sharing animals with different tribes. With those different tribe there were jealousy going on. Little brother went walkabout and heard the different tribe was talking about his tribe. They said ngarribin manre djed-djedme bokko

Meaning: will make spear for them
Ngarrbin danj-bun, ngarrbinbun
Meaning: will spear them kill them
little brother turn around went back tell his brother
Namurre bokko kadi marne djed-djedme Karre wonens, kardi-djal danjbun
Meaning: they making spear for us, they gonna spear us
Couple of months they saw different tribe
They changed their attitude
They been bringing lots of animals to them and start asking for women
And that tribe realise that’s how those brothers died.
They kill them
This Why? They got jealous because two brothers was a good hunter.
This story written on the rock art and it stays forever.’
