| Summary |
"Big rain coming is the name of an exhibition by Roebourne Art Group. The title is inspired by a song by Yinjibarndi woman Tootsie Daniels, who sings about the Yinjibarndi country, around Millstream in the Pilbara tableland. This book is about Yinjibarndi country and Ngarluma country and it is about Roebourne Art Group. The artists in Roebourne Art Group have been painting together for a long time and now, in the green season when the thunderclouds build on their horizon, their big rain is coming: with exhibitions, a new art centre and a training program: one which has led to a collection of stunning public art pieces made with the artists' own hands, minds and stories."--P. 3. |
