Ian Rictor paints with a quiet reverence for the country that he depicts, from his relatively recent nomadic movements over the endless interior that makes up Spinifex Lands. Ian walked from water source to food source and beyond, this was a cultural and family existence for survival in an arid land before his family were found and 'brought in' by relatives in late 1986: making them the last known traditional hunter gatherer in Australia. Ian's compositions centre on the life affirming sites he depicts and each are multi layered with meaning. Here he has painted Tali Tjuta the many sand dunes in Spinifex Country.
