Minyurrpa

Geraldine Nowee

$600.00

Geraldine paints the land of her mother, Minyurrpa, which lies between Jupiter Well and the Canning Stock Route. In this vast Country, the sweeping curves of the sand dunes are captured in the fluid lines of her brush, tracing the contours of the desert’s ever-changing form. The dots scattered across the canvas speak of abundance — they represent the countless seeds that lie hidden in the earth, ready to sustain and nourish. In the centre of the work, the circles form a rhythmic pattern, symbolising the grinding stones, tools of tradition, used by her people to crush the seeds into flour for bush damper, the simple yet sacred bread of the land. Through her brush, Geraldine brings her mother’s Country to life — a place of deep connection, where the land gives all it has to those who know how to listen, how to gather, and how to honour it.
