Intalja
The Intalja are munching on the blue gum leaves. The sugar bags on gum leaves which are around at Christmas time. When i was a child, I would chew on the honey and the moist leaves.
The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint ‘altyerr’ dreaming stories. The artists paint their country where those stories sit.
Daisy has painted her Mother’s country, “Kngwarraye” country. Kngwarraye is one of the four main skin names of Ampilatwatja.
Bush medicine, goanna and many other traditional bush foods are found here. This is where Daisy’s traditional laws lie.
Daisy paints her country to keep her country strong.
