D. Kumunara Thomas / Donkeys all around Chamber Pillar, 2025 #13806-25
66 x 117 cm cm Acrylic on Linen
'All the donkey in that desert Country south of Titjikala. Those three circles are Chambers Pillar, Castle Rock, and her poor mother trailing behind. We call Chambers Pillar Iterrkewarre [pronounced it-turk-kar-wara]. He's knob-tailed gecko man. He came up from Finke River [down south] and travels all over the area before his family banished him for marrying up a girl. But she's his mother-in-law. That's against our Law.'
Following his banishment, the couple retreated into the desert, Iterrkewarre raging in fury, the girl facing away from him in deep shame. Among the dunes they rested and turned into prominent rocky formations - Iterrkewarre into the Pillar, the girl into Castle Rock. They are trailed by the girl's mother, known as Window Rock..'

Pictured in the painting is me and my Daughter, Sam Sam, next will be my Mother, grandmother and older sister.’
