Rita Watson is a Pitjantjatjara Minyma (women) hailing from a remote community in Western Australia. Daughter of renowned artist, Tjuruparu Watson, Rita developed a strong passion and dedication to art making, heavily influenced by her father's country, 'Irlupa.' Rita's work tells the story of the land, filled with Tjukula (rockholes), Kalyan Kalyan (Honey grevilla plant), Kampurarpa (Bush Tomatoes), Anangu (people) and Punu (trees).
Using Milpajunanyi (traditional sand drawing) style, Rita creates textured works that translate into visual form the many important tjukurpa (dreaming) sites, stories and inma (songs) for the Anangu from Irlupa.
Dimensions (including frame): cm H x cm W x 5cm D.
