Meteors Red Australian/Aboriginal Fabric
According to M&S Textiles Australia they are the largest manufacturer of Australian Aboriginal designs printed on good quality 100% cotton fabric. Aboriginal artworks are popular throughout the world and the only living ancient artwork. Its tradition goes back 50,000 years, revealed by carbon dating of rock and cave paintings. It is amazing that many of the artists do not have any formal education or training.
Heather Kennedy is a skillful artist, and her works combine many different colors. In this artwork she depicts Meteors. A cheeky woman named Puggareeta tormented and fought a snake. Their wrestling heated the up ground forming the hills and mountains of the landscapes. The snake cast the woman into the sky where she is held. Spirit Mienteina Puggareeta continued to play tricks on the sky deities who occasionally grew frustrated with her antics and threw her across the sky. She is seen as a Meteor.
