Medium: Acrylic on canvas.
Description:
The artist has depicted the ‘pin pin’ desert bore outstation near Kintore, her father’s Tjukurrpa (dreaming) and country.
Pirrnpirrnga has mountains, rocks and a big rock hole, where there is always water.
In the Tjukurrpa the snakes are travelling around the sand hill country, looking for water.
Ann remembers visiting this country and seeing her aunty singing by those rock holes.
The artist describes with her artwork the beauty of country after the summer rains. Country comes to life. Flowers bloom on the side of the road to her own outstation. The desert is transformed in to a never-ending bed of flowers.
