It’s about all of the losses that I have experienced leading up to losing mum and now the heartbreaking moments that we are going through today. The circles represent my family members, starting from the older generation to the young.
When the tide goes out it drags back the water and leaves behind patterns in the sand. This painting represents the water and the sand. I like to paint my country from a bird’s eye view, looking down. I love the different textures and shapes of the landscape. They inspire my artworks.
Danii Rae likes to paint the wildflowers of her country in her bold and bright style. These are the bluebells growing amongst the mulla mulla.
Rodney paints from images in his mind of buildings and places from his childhood. He captures of essence of the place as he remembers.
This painting is about love, hope, strength and respect for family. I, as an artist, have never left an artwork untitled, but this is it. UNTITLED.
This is the Fortescue Mulla Mulla or ‘Gumbarli’ in Yindjibarndi language. The flower is a purplish colour. It’s not a bush medicine, just a flower that grows in the country. Once the leaves and petals have fallen off, the seeds are blown all through the land to bring flowers again the next year.
We have many fallen seeds from our plants that give new growth to our wild flowers.
