About the Artwork
Zaachariaha Fielding is an Adelaide-based multi-disciplinary who hails from Mimili community on the APY Lands in far north South Australia. Fielding presents Mimili through a childhood lens, recalling observations of inma (song and dance) and movement. Fielding says, ‘The atmosphere of this work is full of sound, movement, and teaching. All the communities are coming together, sharing their storylines.’ Fielding weaves Pitjantjatjara language into this work, using the teaching between grandchildren and grandparents as a stylistic element to outline and define the artist’s view of Country and the landscapes he calls home.
