Judges’ comments

Painted flat with the paper becoming the land itself and the artist moving around the paper, this delicate work of art depicts the rich plant culture in Central Australia and its enduring importance for the artist, a senior law man, and for all Anangu people. The judges describe being continually drawn back to this work, to its beauty and vitality

Highly Commended
