These works are a little bit different because I have used found car parts to tell this story in a new way. I travelled far and wide with my father and brother to collect these fuel cap doors from many car wrecks. My family are always travelling around out bush, they have been looking after country for a long time, learning from our grandfather Sammy. We are always driving around, filling up, driving around this is how we travel around bush these days. No more walking for many days. These fuel caps have been painted, sandblasted and spray painted, it is a new process for me but I like using the sand to make these works. These stories are all connected, across many small works, each one holding a part of this huge Tjukurpa, just like the land we travel.
