Title: Land, Earth, Country (Ngurra)

Acrylic on canvas: 101.5 x 101.5 x 3.7cm

From above, the green lines trace the body of Country — ridges, valleys, and pathways etched into the land over thousands of years. They are the tracks of memory, the shape of the Pilbara seen from sky and spirit. The dotted pathways echo movement across this Country, the footsteps of my ancestors. They show how life moves with the land; always circling back, always connected. In the deep layers are bursts of colour – the hills and spirts, a living energy — red for the strength of the earth, blue for the lifeblood of water, yellow for the warmth of fire and sun. Together they bring balance, reminding us that Country is alive and always shifting. This work tells of my Country as seen from above and from the? Ground.
