Explications pour cette œuvre :

This is Kanpala, ngayuku kamiku ngura (my grandmothers country). This painting depicts life in Spinifex Country. The old people would walk from rockhole to rockhole collecting wild foods on the way. They knew the bush plants that were good to eat, how to make flour by grinding the small millet seeds they collected and then baking bread on the fire. They knew the special plants for medicine. This country is good country.

The country near Kanpa shifts in colour and texture, it is deep in Spinifex. Pila (spinifex grass), and tali all around. It is my kamiku ngura, where she was born.
