ARTWORK STORY
In Barkindji language, "Parra-Kiira Baaka" means "Far Away Country and Darling River".
The colours used for this print are based on a photograph the artists, Jasmine Miikika Craciun, took on a trip back to her Country (Tipooburra) with her Grandmother. The colours are representative of her Malyangapa family, and of the wide open plains and desert that is a part of the traditional landscape in the region. The circles represent the water ripples of a flowing, healthy Baaka [Darling River]. To create the ripples, Jasmine painted a series of concentric circles in ink on paper, taking pride in the unique shape each circle had. The ripples and the Baaka [Darling River] are more representative of my Barkindji roots.
