Ardla (Lizards) of Home

mid fire clay

27 x 24 x 24 cm

I see many Ardla (lizards) on Adnyamathanha Yarta, my home. The lizards come visit me at the ceramics studio when I am working. They lay on the wood outside and soak up the sun. I take photos of the lizards on my phone, and I etch the marking of their skin on the clay. This work was produced during a Ku Arts workshop with Regional Arts Funding through Country Arts SA. I received technical assistance in the production of this work from Ashlee Hopkins.
