I want people to see the salt pans I love and to see them from above. To rise up and look down…. It’s a landscape of salt pan, lakes’, hills and the land around them after a big rain when all the flowers come up. This is part of the desert country that I really love. This painting goes all the way through my country, the place where I was born, places where I lived and worked with my family. It’s a very big, hot, dry country. For me it’s really beautiful.

Desert Mob is presented annually in Mparntwe | Alice Springs on Arrernte Country.
