Went to the NYU 'Early Aboriginal Painting of Papunya' gallery show with a friend and spent and hour an a half learning everything I possibly could about these oscillating tribal pieces made up mostly of dots. No pictures allowed. There was a great deal of mythology revolving about 'The old man and his wayward testicles' (!). That and the dream state. I did take this little diagram sketch a Westerner made of one of the paintings that they had framed. This must have been some lady.
