The Emu is the second tallest bird in the world the Australian aborigine's folk story states the sun was made by throwing an Emu’s egg into the sky. This is a painting incorporating, Aboriginal shapes and colours of clay representing the earth and yellow speckles representing the sun.
I wanted to retell the story abstractly, as the Emu also appears as a constellation and is seen as the creator's spirit. This image is also avaliable as a hand embelished print.
