Artist Statement - October 2016
This old blue ute sat out at the rubbish dump in Kintore for many years! Many Pintupi people had stories to tell about who had owned it and where it had travelled. It became a tradition for me to go and say hello to it when I was in Kintore. Many hundreds of children have played in it and had their photos taken in it.
Each time I went out to see it, there was a little less of it there. Bones picked clean! Rusting into the landscape. Then one day I went to say hello and it was gone! Apparently a community cleanup had happened and all the old cars had been crushed and taken off in a truck. It made me very sad; the end of an era.
