”My painting is about when Kunawarritiji kids went on a camping trip to a place call Nyarruri Well 32. We played football and ate kangaroo tail, the next day we drove to the rockhole.”
This canvas was painted as part of the Martumili Kuulkaja (Martu Schools) exhibition, a project designed to engage and celebrate the schools of the remote Martu communities.
