Colours of the Land
The circles in the reproduction of the traditional painting Colours of the Land
represent the life forces of the land. Europeans measured time linearly hours,
days, weeks, months etc. To Aboriginal culture time was continuous so the
circles are representing time that is collectively never-ending. The circular
patterns symbolise the Dreaming or Creation, the now or present time and the
future or future generations. The Dreaming taught aboriginal people how to care
for the earth or the mother. They believed if you looked after mother earth she
would look after you with all her resources. Aboriginals believed if you
destroy the earth you destroy yourself. In the Dreaming aboriginal people
learnt how to respect and care for the land, animals, plants and rivers. The
kangaroos are camouflaged with the colours of the land for protection. So the
aboriginal people needed to understand, the land, the kangaroos and where to
hunt.
