- Status:
The 77 kilometre road between my home in Mimili community and the neighbouring community of Indulkana is scattered with car wrecks (mutaka katalypa). I call them ‘graveyards in between’. Every car holds the stories of its owners and the passengers it once carried. I used gold to represent how certain cars in remote communities are seen as symbols of status and wealth. By combining old and new – photography and painting, rust and gold – I’m bringing back to life something long thought dead.
