Puli Puli Potholder

Keturah depicts the puli puli (rocks) at two different sites: the landscapes at Haasts Bluff and also Karrkurrutintja (Lake McDonald). Keturah depicts her childhood memories of both places.
“The sand hills I paint are my mother’s story and the rocks I paint are my own story. My paintings are about my story and my mother’s. When I look at my paintings I feel happy. My Grandmother used to say to me when I was younger: “One day you will paint.”
