Wildflowers
This work depicts the remarkably diverse flora found through Martu Country. These plants are not only vital as significant food sources, but also celebrated for their aesthetic splendour. In the context of the often harsh and arid environments in which desert flowers bloom, their vibrancy, delicacy, and variation become even more spectacular.

Pilanku
Pilankujarra is a soak and claypan located north of Parnngurr Community, and just south of the Karlamilyi River (Rudall River). Pilankujarra forms part of Mayiwalku’s uncle’s ngurra (home Country, camp).
Debra grew up in Nullagine and went to school both in Nullagine and Jigalong. Over the last several years, Debra has learned to paint by sitting with the older women. She particularly enjoys learning about country from the senior women. She ensures that her children spend time watching their elders paint and learning the stories and history of their county. While painting, she talks about the subtle sparkling colours of the plants and flowers that grow around Karlamilyi (Rudall River). Debra paints her mother’s country, which is Warnman country, surrounding Karlamilyi (Rudall River) as well as her father’s country, around Kunawarritji.

During the pujiman (traditional, desert dwelling) period, Martu would traverse very large distances annually in small family groups, moving seasonally from water source to water source, and hunting and gathering bush tucker as they went. At this time knowledge of water sources was critical for survival, and today Martu Country is still defined in terms of the location and type of water. Each of the hundreds of claypans, rockholes, waterholes, soaks and springs found in the Martu desert homelands is known by name, location, quality and seasonal availability through real life experience and the recounting of Jukurrpa (Dreaming) narratives.
