“Kuwari, year nyangatja 2016 ngayulu tjatamilanu nyaa paintamilaningi, map panya, Australiala winki tjara, ara tjakultjunkunytjaku.

I started painting the map of Australia in 2016 and using my paintings to talk about important things. I write in Pitjantjatjara about how the old men and women are custodians of their land, how they’ve got to keep culture strong, protect sacred sites and pass all their knowledge on to the younger ones. I’m talking about things where I live, about how we’ve got to be strong and protect our land and culture. The map of Australia shows that even though I’m writing in my language and talking about my country, these stories are important for Aboriginal people everywhere, all over Australia.”
