Doris Bush will have you to sit beside them.
She may talk of marriage and her late husband Kumantjayi Tjangala, she may gesture the journey to Nyunmanu, an outstation nearer the WA border.
There is a word “Tjkurrmananyi” meaning dreaming a dream and It is with mastery and elegance Doris navigates such a realm.
Doris’s way contemplates memory, relationships, real experience, a sincerity for their culture and from there what manifests seems to be an infinite story.
Within the artists fixation towards Nyumanu she has invented a pictorial language so confident and sophisticated it functions like gospel.
This series is a romance, an introduction to a limitless body of work, a worship of connection, place, family and Papa Tjukurrpa.
