"I paint the landscape, my home Country of Nturiya (Ti Tree). A long time ago, long before us, my ancestors lived on this Country.
They knew all about how to live on Country; where they could find water holes, food, and places to shelter with their family. They passed this knowledge down, daughters to daughters, sons to sons, through the generations to us. I feel happy to paint my Country, and proud to tell the stories of my ancestors. Through my painting l'm teaching my daughters and grandchildren too. I'm doing this for my family - it's all about my family."

Barbara Mbitjana Moore depicts her beloved Anmatyerre Country, offering aerial perspectives of the landscape meticulously recalled from memory. Rendered in sweeping arcs of colour Moore portrays the undulating landscapes, rock formations, and water holes in the environment, acknowledging a rich connection to Country which transcends geographic understanding, and which is deeply rooted in belonging, being, and ancestral significance.
