Wanampi
Rainbow Serpent, 2025
raffia
16 x 182 x 2 cm

Wanampi means Rainbow Serpent in Pitjantjatjara language. This artwork is created from lots of handwoven coils using dyed raffia. It represents my Return to Country earlier this year and my connection to land, family, and the stories of my ancestors.

The weaving process reflects my personal journey across the Central Desert, seeking to understand the deep connection I have always felt to Country and my longing to hear the true story of my family.

I have lived on Wadawurrung Country for more than 14 years, where our creator spirit Bunjil has always watched over me. When I returned to the Northern Territory, I felt the presence of both Bunjil and Wanampi guiding me and my family. Eagles flew above me throughout the journey, and I witnessed the beauty of the land shaped by Wanampi. Recent rains had brought the Country to life, filling it with vibrant colours, reminding me of the enduring strength and spirit of our creation stories.
