Caterpillar Dreaming Size:102 x 122 cm Nyunmiti BurtonMaria Curley is painting the Caterpillar Dreaming that she inherited from her Grandmother. This story is about the Anumara (Caterpillar) travelling from WA to the north west of South Australia. The Caterpillar lives in the grass and is in danger if the grass it lives in is eaten. The Caterpillar story is kept secret. The place where the caterpillar lives is important and keeping the story secret protects the caterpillar from being eaten.
