Dieses Gemälde wurde von Lena Pwerle aus Utopia, Zentralaustralien, handgemalt. Kreisförmige Muster stellen Überschwemmungen (oder Wasserlöcher) dar, die über ihr Land in der Utopia-Region verteilt sind.
Lena sagt, dass sich in diesen nun ausgetrockneten und aufgebrauchten Sickerstellen schon vor langer Zeit, selbst als sie noch aufwuchs, reichlich Wasser befand, um ihre Leute mit der dringend benötigten Wasserversorgung zu versorgen. Aufgrund ihrer genauen Kenntnis des Landes wussten Lenas Leute, wie und wo sie in der rauen Wüstenumgebung zu finden waren.
„ Vor langer Zeit holte sich die alte Mafia ihre kleine Coolamon (Schüssel), sie überprüfte sie [Einweichen] – richtig gutes Wasser!“ Sie wurden unter der Erde gefunden. Meine Großmutter hat mir beigebracht, wo ich sie finden kann. Sie trocknen jetzt, sie sind fertig. Sie [mein Volk] trinken jetzt Borwasser “ – Lena Pwerle

BEHIND THE SCENES OF OUR SEPTEMBER 2019 EXHIBITION 'LENA'
"A two and a half hour drive from Alice Springs, up the Sandover Highway and deep into Central Australia's remote Utopia region, will get you to Arlparra Store where elder Lena Pwerle lives in a small humpy.
The humpy is made of corrugated tin and held up by branches, boxes and rope. It fits three mattresses atop steel bed frames; one for herself, her sister Rosie and her daughter Nora. "
“Long time [ago] olden time mob get their little coolamon (bowl), they check them [soakages] – proper good one water! They been find ‘em under the ground. My grandmother taught me where to find ‘em."
