Artwork Description

When I am painÆŸng I am thinking about the Tjukurrpa that all the ladies know - the minyma kutjara. This country has strong
culture. I am painÆŸng those ladies travelling through that gap near Kaltukatjara and at Walka, my homeland. The ladies came
all the way from South Australia. Those ladies are travelling through the landscape and they are changing as they travel. At
Walka, when that scary walpa (wind) comes through, they transform so they can hide. I am only painƟng a liƩle bit of this
story, the part that is right here. I am painÆŸng the kapi (rockholes), tali (sandhills), puli (hills) and karru (creek) of this place
