In Christian mythology the serpent is credited with bringing evil and death into the world. In the Creation of Mythology of many Aboriginal societies, the Rainbow Serpent is not only responsible for the creation of the landscape, but is important in regeneration and birth in both animals and humans. A reconciliation of the cultures and spiritualities which produced these opposing beliefs has been central to Miriam-Rose's life and art.
