Artwork Story
‘Mina Mina is our place – we are custodians of that place. My aunties were born there and they teach me – proper way. Same way like in the Jukurrpa – when Napanangka and Napangardi women danced and sang up the country – the spirits that still live at Mina Mina want us to visit, to dance there, to know the songs and to sing right way but nobody sleeps there – people go visiting but long way away sleeping – too sacred – the spirits are inside. No talking loud – no singing out. I grew up there as a little girl and we walked around near Mina Mina long way. My father digging water hole and all the kids sitting down – This country makes me smile – my paintings are all about this place. My spirit belongs here.’
