Print Reproduction of "Grandmother's Country" Michelle Possum Nungurrayi
Reproduced on premium canvas
Grandmother’s Country depicts the land around Yuelamu in Central Australia that was passed down through Michelle Possum Nungurrayi’s grandmother. The painting shows women’s ceremonial sites, waterholes, food gathering areas and pathways that connect them. U-shaped figures represent women, circles show sacred sites or meeting places, and dot work describes bush foods such as berries and bush plums.
This story honours the travels of ancestral women during the Dreaming and their role in teaching law, ceremony and knowledge of country. It records both the physical landscape and the cultural memory tied to it, keeping alive the connection between family, ancestors and land.
