Rock Art as Living Presence
Understanding rock art as ongoing manifestation of the Dreaming.
Rock art is not merely historical record but living presence. The images painted by ancestors contain their power and continue to perform their ceremonial function. Retouching these images renews their power and maintains connection to the Dreaming.
The paintings are not pictures of the ancestors. They are the ancestors.
Rock art represents one of the world's oldest continuous art traditions.
