"Painting makes me think of going outbush in Blackstone. We had no cars no shops - ate bushfoods - goanna, kampurarpa rabbit, honey ants. My paintings make me think back to when I lived in the bush with my family. They are like a memory and a map of the country, my grandfathers country Witapi Wara."
