Noŋgirrŋa Marawili
Baratjala, 2022
The artist represents Baratjala, a special Madarrpa clan estate on the mainland where as a young girl she camped with her father, Mundukul (Lightning Snake) and his many wives. The work enlivened with brilliant fuchsia print toner, shows the rock set in deep water between the electric curse that Mundukul, the Lightning Snake spits into the sky in the form of lightning, and the spray of sea trying to shift the immovable rock foundation of the Madarrpa.
