Lot description
Alma Webou paints Pinkalarta, the home where both she and her mother grew up. It is located in the Great Sandy Desert near Joanna Springs on the Anna Plains station. Her work gives an aerial view of the landscape, showing the mayi (bush food) and the jila (living water). Webou is a part of the Yulparija people who were forced to leave her home when the water began to dry up. She found her new home in the coastal town of Bidyadanga, and as a result, her desert imagery is expressed with the vibrant contrasts of the saltwater landscape. "This is Pinkalakara, my place I was born and grew up, this is my mothers country. It is in the Great Sandy Desert near Joanna spring on Anna Plains station. This country has lots of Mayi (bush food). This painting shows Mayi. I lost my mummy and sister " Alma Webou
