'I’m painting my great grandfather’s country, Iningai country, this is the traditional name of the Longreach region in Queensland. Iningai country encompasses a territory of over 50,000km2, stretching east to Barcaldine and north to Aramac and Muttaburra. I lived here nearly all my life; I have an intimate bond with this land as a descendant of the Iningai, this is home. Painting serves as way for me to reconnect to my culture. With a rock art site on country at Grace Vale station Aramac, painting runs in my blood. It’s a special privilege to continue that tradition. I’ve placed many dots because it looks vast and strong like my land but also remembers those who belong to this country. Subtle movements form the shape of creeks and rivers on country, in particular the “Thomson River” where my great grandmother was born. The 4 meandering lines represent my knowledge of this country and spiritual connection with it.'
