Abstract:
Multicolored postcard which reproduces a painting by Indigenous Australian artist Zane Saunders. Painting features dragonflies, frogs, birds, butterflies, a mask, a snake and two human figures which are intertwined. The image is set on a yellow background, with a paragraph of text by the artist at the foot, from which the title is derived. Four smaller images of detail taken from the painting are shown on the verso of the postcard, each with a paragraph of explanatory text. The poster was commissioned by the National AIDS Campaign of the Commonwealth Department of Human Services and Health in response to the 1993 International Year for the World's Indigenous People which had the theme, Indigenous People - A New Partnership.
