Explications sur cette œuvre :
Rosie King Tarku born in 1934 at a Jumu called Pyinjarra in the Great Sandy Desert. When she left the desert, they walked for a long time with her husband and older sister. It was a very long way to arrive at Old Bililluna. I did not know english at that time. We had no shoes, we were wearing yakapiri (old people long ago in the desert they used to make sandals to protect feet from the hot ground).
This painting is all about looking down from the sky when you fly on a plane you can see waterholes and jilas jumus and salt lakes from the air and sand hills .And the pattern you can see from the air it is
magnificent the land escape and the flowers and trees that blooms brings out the desert to life.
