Naïve Floral Silhouette II Size:50 x 70 cm These women stopped at Karntakurlangu

These women stopped at Karntakurlangu (an area that literally means ‘belonging to women’) to dig for ‘wardapi’ (sand monitor/goanna [Varanus gouldii]) and ‘jintiparnta’ (desert truffle) before travelling further north

The decorated women continuously anointed themselves with ‘minyira’ (shiny fat) to increase their ritual powers as they went along

The area has a ‘marluri’ (salt lake or claypan) that is usually dry

When printing on canvas we print the image 'edge to edge' (right up to the frame edge)

they are vibrant and and at times haunting reminders of our cultural and spiritual reliance on our beaches and the redemptive power of the ocean
