In Eric Barney’s paintings of Yankunytjatjara Country, mark-making is a form of mapping, defining the terrain of his country by carving out sections of colour, the paint applied to the canvas with a sense of rhythm and purpose. Barney interprets the rocky desert country around Indulkana Community through colour, tone and form. His powerfully understated paintings depict tjukula (rockholes) and punu (tree’s) and the knowledge of these important resources that have sustained Anangu for generations.
