Ngayuku Ngura (My Country)
Barbara Mbitjana Moore grew up in Amoonguna and her father’s country near Ti-Tree in the Northern Territory, moving to Amata in Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia when she married. In this painting, she has depicted her country near Ti-Tree. The different colours and shapes represent variations in the landscape. Some of the landmarks are the rock holes that lie in and around her country. Connected by travel lines, these sites hold important tjukurpa. Through her painting, Barbara stays connected to her own country in the Northern Territory, even though she lives far away. She draws inspiration from the wildflowers that carpet the desert in spring.
