    Artwork Story

    In Barkindji language, "Parra-Kiira Baaka" means "Far Away Country and Darling River".

    "It was on trip out west with my Nan to my Country (Tipooburra, 14 hours north-west of Sydney) that inspired this collection.

    The colours used for each print are based on a photograph I took on the trip. The red, black, blue and purple are representative of my Malyangapa family, and of the wide open plains and desert that is a part of the traditional landscape in the region.

    The circles, on the other hand, represent the water ripples of a flowing, healthy Baaka [Darling River]. To create the ripples, I painted a series of concentric circles in ink on paper, taking pride in the unique shape each circle had. The ripples and the Baaka [Darling River] are more representative of my Barkindji roots."
