“In general the richer the environment, the denser the human population, and the more ceremonial exchanges and commerce that occurs there, the more likely it is to have a wealth of art” (Yi-Fu Tuan, 121).
A “distinctive trait of Aboriginal art is the importance of the multi-modal performance…contemporary rituals of any scope require the service of not just one or two but several aesthetic skills” (Yi-Fu Tuan, 125).
