In Pitjantjatjara language, the word Ngura is a definition
for the physical geography of land and country. However Ngura has a more
richly imbedded meaning as a place to which someone belongs; defining
where an individual comes from, family connections, skin groups, and
language.
Paintings of Ngura often portray personal stories
and mories of country that is personal to the artist. Iconography of
significant elements within the desert landscape such as rock holes,
underground springs, mountain and rock formations, and sacred sites are meticulously recorded from memory, and often depicted from an aerial
perspective.
