264-22KA, Kaltjiti Arts, Acrylic on linen, 50 x 50cm 

Nyangatja Watarru (this is a place called Watarru). Watarru is my home. This is Anangu tjuta (many Anangu, or people). Anangu tjuta move around, traveling between waterholes and creeks, searching for food. They go out during the day, looking across the land and through the bush. They search for food and bring what they find back to the children at the camp. When the water runs out at one place, they move on to the next waterhole. If there’s no water, they keep walking until they find some. Knowing where to find water is special knowledge. Water can be found in many unlikely places—creeks, waterholes, rockholes, soakages, and springs. Kapi wiru (good water).
