"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, which was also the time this was painted.
