My Country
In this elegant monochrome painting, Anna Pitjara traces the intricate rhythms of her ancestral homeland near Boundary Bore, in the Utopia region northeast of Alice Springs. Titled My Country, the work is a visual meditation on memory, movement, and the deeply rooted connection between people and place.
Using fine white dotting on a black ground, Anna builds a flowing composition of interwoven forms—suggestive of dry creek beds, sandhills, plant life, and the ceremonial pathways that run through her Country. The sweeping lines and repetitive marks convey the pulse of the land, shaped over time by ancestral forces and lived experience.
Anna Pitjara belongs to a celebrated lineage of Utopia artists. Her work balances precision with intuition, drawing viewers into a landscape that is both physical and spiritual. My Country is not just a depiction of place—it is an embodiment of identity, kinship, and cultural continuity.
