Description: 'Faces in the Firelight'This painting, titled Faces in the Firelight, evokes the warmth and intimacy of yarnanpa (storytelling) around the campfire. The pink dots shimmer like embers dancing in the warlu (fire), illuminating the contours of a face that holds the echoes of shared laughter, wisdom, and ancestral knowledge. The patterns ripple outward, symbolising the connections between those gathered, each walytja (family) member contributing their voice to the collective memory of the ngurra (homeland). The bold, black lines of the face capture the timeless presence of the elders who guide these moments, grounding the scene in tradition. This artwork invites you to feel the magic of the jila (spirit) that lingers in the glow of the firelight, uniting the Martu people through stories passed down over countless generations. 60 x 120 cm includes a 5cm gutter.The painting is un-stretched and unframed, and it will be rolled up and posted in a mailing tube.
