Belinda Golder Kngwarreye is a younger generation artist from a long line of famous artists from the Utopia region of the NT. Here she celebrates her country through depicting a number of its key women's ancestral creation stories. These include bush melon, bush yam (of which she is a traditional custodian) and women's ceremonies (awelye) in which women paint their bodies and perform songs and dances to bring fertility to the lands. Paintings of country often portray personal stories and memories of country that are significant to the artist, along with women's ancestral stories and iconography of geographic elements within the desert landscape. These include rock holes, underground springs, mountain and rock formations, and sacred sites. These are meticulously recorded from memory and often depicted from an aerial perspective.
