Claypan Flowers

This is a painting of the Claypan Wattle when it is ripe, but it’s poisonous. This shrub starts off as a light green colour and then, as it matures, it gets darker. The flowers are a yellowy orange and also get darker with a bit of black as they are fading away.

Millstream Crossing (Murlunmunyjurna) Morning Mist

The old Yindjibarndi story says that the morning mist is our ancestors, the old fellas, smoke from their fires. This is the early sunrise mist at Millstream Crossing Pool, over from the pipeline (Murlunmunyjurna)

View of Country – Jacinta Pula Morrison

The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint ‘altyerr’ dreaming stories, the artists paint their country where those stories sit.

This painting shows the layered landscape of Alyawarr, Central Australia. Knowing your country is an important part of living in a remote community like Ampilatwatja. Knowing when and where to go hunting and gathering, knowing where there is ‘soakage’ (where you can dig for water), travelling with family for ceremonies, and maintaining a connection with the land.

“This is my country, my view of country.”

Waterholes

Madeline paints the country as she sees it around her, taking inspiration from the natural environment which she has lives amongst since childhood. She often paints things she sees in Yinjibarndi Country like the Pilbara wildflowers, lilyponds, claypan and spinifex.

Mount Selwyn

Mount Selwyn through the eyes of little me. How magical it is to see snow for the first time. Driving around the mountains in awe at every fresh white bob on the side of the road. I have fond memories of pulling over on the side of the road and sliding on black plastic in the snow and spending time with family.
