Wandu-gutu ini dika-ra

acrylic on canvas

60 x 42 cm

‘Wandu-gutu ini dika-ra’ (when will you return?) depicts the Country of my mob as I remember it. The red calls out like a beacon. It calls me back, asking when will I return. The winding Songlines carry footsteps, stories, and voices that continue to echo across Country by. The scattered symbols and meeting places speak of family, ceremony, and the deep connections that bind people to Country, no matter how far away they may go.
