Condition report: Restoration The stripes represent many elements of Aboriginal culture. Michelle inherited the right to paint them from her father Clifford Possum and in this context they represent the journeys of the Dreamtime red sand worms who burrow underground to escape the stalking of a giant crow. They are said to form the beds of rivers and the gaps that cut into mountain ranges.
