ARTIST STATEMENT
The woman makes a Majardi , love belt, and sings her love spell in to it. She knows that once her man puts the belt around her waist he will think of himself as her lover. The woman brings it for the man to put around her waist. She takes up her digging stick and her lover grabs his shield and they run away together in to the bush. They light a fire and lie alongside one another as boy friend and girl friend. The people of the tribe gather looking around the bush for the lovers. They run away but are seen traveling along together as a couple.
