Gully Gums | Indigenous Australia Wall Art

Location: Kings Canyon, Northern Territory Finish: Acrylic Face Mount / Diamond Polished Bevelled Edges - Ready To Hang

10 Artist Proof / 100 Limited Edition

The Desert Gums are a striking and iconic feature of Kings Canyon, a natural wonder located in the heart of the Australian outback. These majestic trees, also known as Eucalyptus heterodont, are well adapted to the harsh desert environment, and their unique features make them a beloved symbol of the region. One of the most striking aspects of the Desert Gums is their striking white bark, which stands out in sharp contrast against the vibrant red sand of the desert landscape. This bark is not only beautiful to look at, but it also serves an important purpose, helping to protect the tree from the intense heat and harsh winds of the outback. 6 x 17 Super Roll Film

Kata Tjuta Country | Indigenous Australia Wall Art

Location: Kata Tjuta National Park, Northern Territory Finish: Acrylic Face Mount / Diamond Polished Bevelled Edges - Ready To Hang

15 Artist Proof / 150 Limited Edition

Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the heart of Australia's Red Centre. The towering rock formations that makeup Kata Tjuta is a sight to behold, rising up from the desert floor like sentinels guarding the land. But perhaps even more awe-inspiring than the physical beauty of this place is the rich indigenous culture that has been intertwined with it for thousands of years. For the Anangu people, who are the traditional owners of this land, Kata Tjuta is a sacred site of immense cultural significance. According to their creation stories, the rocks of Kata Tjuta were formed by the travels and exploits of ancestral beings, and the land is imbued with their spiritual energy. Visitors to the area are encouraged to learn about and respect the Anangu culture, and to appreciate the deep connections that they have with this land. One of the most important aspects of Anangu culture is its deep respect for the natural world. For them, the land and its inhabitants are not separate entities, but rather interconnected parts of a larger whole. This holistic worldview is reflected in their traditional practices, such as hunting and gathering, which are done with great care and consideration for the environment. Visitors to Kata Tjuta have the opportunity to learn about Anangu culture through guided tours and cultural experiences, such as bush tucker walks, traditional dance performances, and storytelling sessions. These experiences offer a glimpse into the rich and diverse history of the Anangu people, and a chance to gain a deeper appreciation for the land and its significance.

Kata Tjuta Twilight | Indigenous Australia Wall Art

Location: Kata Tjuta National Park, Northern Territory Finish: Acrylic Face Mount / Diamond Polished Bevelled Edges - Ready To Hang

15 Artist Proof / 150 Limited Edition

After days of scouting for new angles of the Olgas, I mapped out this composition with the Desert Oaks. Kata Tjuṯa, also known as the Olgas, is a group of large, ancient rock formations located in the Red Centre of Australia, in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The name Kata Tjuṯa means "many heads" in the local Pitjantjatjara language, and the site is of great cultural and spiritual significance to the Anangu people, the traditional custodians of the land. Kata Tjuṯa is made up of 36 steep-sided domes that rise up to 546 meters above the surrounding desert landscape. The rock formations are composed of conglomerate, a sedimentary rock made up of pebbles and boulders cemented together by sand and mud. I waited several days before I got the colour I wanted on Twilight, I captured this unique panorama deep in the Kata Tjuta scrub country. Photographed in 6 x 17 Super Roll Film on Fuji Velvia 100. With the cold winter's desert temperature dropping to only 6 degrees, I held the exposure on twilight for 1 minute and then double exposed a second time for greater colour depth.

Kata Tjuta | Indigenous Australia Wall Art

Location: Kata Tjuta, Northern Territory Finish: Acrylic Face Mount / Diamond Polished Bevelled Edges - Ready To Hang

15 Artist Proof / 150 Limited Edition

Kata Tjuta, or as it's also referred to as 'The Olgas', is a collection of soaring rock domes jutting out from the earth, located in the Red Centre of Australia, southwest of Alice Springs, NT. Meaning 'many heads' Kata Tjuta is sacred to the local Anangu people, holding significant importance to their spiritual life. What's most magical about this cultural landmark is the way it reflects the changing light from the landscape and sky around it, with no two moments in time looking the same. I captured this shot at sunrise just as the sky had turned to beautiful pink and purple, highlighting the natural minerals present in the rock, contrasted vibrantly against the deep greens of the outback vegetation. A sight in nature truly to behold. 6 x 17 Super Roll Film

Vibrant reds and deep purples are usually reserved for species in nature we might see in the suburban garden but out here in Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory, they are just part of the landscape. And it's a landscape like no other in the world. Like sleeping giants in the distance rousing from their peaceful slumber, these rock formations take on an array of hues as the sun slowly rises, highlighting the curves, juts, and valleys between like limbs on a body. There is something spiritual about this place, as if mother nature herself had painted a scene just for you, demanding a quiet moment to pause, reflect and let her natural wonder embrace you with her incredible wondrousness.
