"Mina Pitjanyi - the rain is coming behind the bushfire - mala, later. The rain put out the fire caused by the lightning."

Highly expressive in her mark-making, the atmosphere of a bushfire, a huge force of nature, is captured with great energy borne out of experience. Flames, smoke and then the rain is a highly-charged natural event in traditional country. It is also a time of renewal. The waterholes fill up after the rain, seeds are activated to germinate and excess fuel reduced.

Summer is the time for bushfires.
