Possum and Wallaby Dreaming
This painting was the inspiration and basis of Parliament Houses' mosaic situated directly in front of the enterance. Five artists were asked to come up with desgins for the mosaic, these included; Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Paddy Carrol Tjungurrayi, Maxie Tjampitjinpa, Two Bob Tjungurrayi and Michael Nelson Jagamara. They each submitted two designs, in a range of natural colours which corresponded with the colours available to stone mosaic pieces.
It then took 18months for the stonemasons to complete the master piece.
