Seeds and Waterways (Dawn)

I am inspired by the colours in the rocks, the seeds on the ground, and the way water moves through the land. When I paint, I think about the flow of a waterway. Water is always moving, and I follow that movement in my lines and shapes. The forms in my work come from that flow, and my colours come from what I see in Country. I use strong, vivid colours because that is how I see Country in my mind and how i feel when i paint. There is a lot of new life when you find water on Country. It is where you find the beautiful colours and the flowers.  When i paint I feel connected to culture, the old people and memories.

Denise Ngwarraye Bonney – Tijamburra, My Grandmothers Country

This is my Mothers Mothers country, out near Canteen Creek, we go hunting for wild onions, goannas, echidnas and sugar bag honey in the trees. I like to hunt in my country, there is water all year round even if it looks dry, we follow the bird tracks to know where to dig and then we find water.


This painting is after rain, many grasses are out, but the riverbed is still sandy.
