The Artwork

The peach-filled skies, together with the blues, pinks and purples, paint us the renowned Kalkadoon sunsets.

Kalkatungu

Created by First Nations artist Glenda McCulloch, a Kalkadoon woman from Kalkatungu country.

“We paint our traditional homelands (Kalkatungu country) heavily focusing on the landscape because it is very special to us. This country is where our father and our mother call home. We were raised here and it’s also where we are raising our children. This country is very rough and rugged, the heat has twisted and folded back on itself and the ochres have been pushed up from the depths. Gold, silver and the many other minerals in the earth give us the most unique mineral belt in the world. The peach-filled skies, together with the blues, pinks and purples, paint us the renowned Kalkadoon sunsets. Spinifex covers the hillsides, the ghost gums flourish among the intensely red dirt where our Kalkadoon Warriors quarried famous green stone axes.

We draw inspiration from these connections and vivid memories. We use traditional shapes and symbols and an unrestricted palette to create a modern interpretation of our traditional culture.”
