In this image of the drying and cracked mud of her mother’s country along the Sturt River, the artist describes the area where she visited as a child. Along the banks and waterholes by the river was black soil country. “When we were young, my sisters and cousins would play in the dried and cracked mud flats. The Luga (pronounced 'Looka') is the name we had for the dried mud flats. In the wet seasons and after a big tide on the Sturt River the water would rise up on the black mud flats. As it dried mud would turn to salt crystals. We would play making cakes from the dried shapes and sometimes play a game like stepping stones. Sometimes the old people would eat these cracked mud cakes as bush medicine for the salt. My paintings keep alive my memories from when we were all young and together.”
