작품 상세

Lungurang country lies along the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert in Western Australia. This is where the artist was born. She travelled around this place as a young woman walking through the sand dunes (tali) collecting Mayi (bushfood) with her mother. They hunted kuwi, and camped in the area. This took place during the 1930s when they were still desert nomads, before they had clothes. Weaver had two brothers that lived with them there. In this work created in her late 70s, she has depicted a place called Sinpa, deep in the desert region of Western Australia. Here she recalled collecting bush onion (junta), near the waterhole (jila). There was plenty of good bush food to be collected along the warla (mud flats) there.
