FAMILY AND COUNTRY
This is a teaching painting depicting a dry season in Damien’s homeland, Mount Liebig, in the Northern Territory. It illustrates aspects of the landscape and culture as told to Damien by his great-grandparents.
Women sit with children collecting bush potatoes, represented by the red shapes at the top of the painting, while preparing for Inma (ceremony). One man, a Wati, sits with his Waru. Controlled burnings take place across the dry spinifex, encouraging good fruit growth.
The small star-like symbols represent women’s body paint, applied to each other for inma. A dry creekbed winds through the painting (shown in red and white), accompanied by cracks in the claypans, dried rockholes (Tjukula), and sandhills (Tali).
