Story

Kudditji is now a traditional custodian of his country and of the Emu story, for which he was responsible in initiating the younger men of his clan. Although not much detail is given about aspects of this initiation, it is generally understood that this involved the practical teaching of hunting the Emu as well as the spiritual story of the Emu ancestors. It is Kudditji’s obligation to continue this story and his intimate physical and spiritual knowledge of the Anmatyerre country is what he now transfers onto his canvas.
