Story Behind the Piece:
Parnngurr is more than a place; it is a heartbeat of connection, a sanctuary where the land speaks its own language through the trees, soil, and wind. This painting captures the essence of Parnngurr, where the ancient spirits of the Martu reside and the land thrives under their care.
The trees in this piece are not merely flora; they are storytellers. Each trunk, adorned with intricate designs, symbolizes a chapter in the ongoing tale of Parnngurr. Some whisper of the ceremonies performed under their canopies, while others sing of the animals and people who have passed through, leaving traces of their spirits behind. The patterns and shapes echo the sacredness of the land and the unity of its elements.
Beneath the surface lies a symphony of roots, intertwining and carrying life-giving water through the dry earth, just as the stories of the ancestors nourish the present generation. The red backdrop signifies the strength and resilience of the Martu people, grounded in their land’s enduring presence.
This painting is an invitation—a journey to a place where every line, every curve, holds a piece of the Martu’s legacy. It’s a celebration of Parnngurr’s beauty, strength, and unyielding connection to its people.
