Notes:Reinvent ... how I reinvented myself in my 80th year - ED's Journal 1995-2000 'You are reaching back into your past, re-discovering and recognising through Eddie Burrup the tentacular roots of your Aboriginal heritage learned through a lifetime of memories, of childhood experiences, friendships, story-telling - much of which may not now be available ... Through Eddie Burrup your life comes full circle ... Signals from Howling Dog Rock (and other Eddie Burrup paintings) contain innate knowledge of the Ngarangani - they evoke rock and cave paintings, moonlight ceremonies and the purpose behind it all ...' Letter via fax to ED from Maureen Smith, 13 January 1999.
