The Artwork that defines Irrkerlantye, a Learning Centre for Indigenous Youth, Alice Springs, Australia

            Irrkerlantye acknowledges the First Peoples of Australia and recognises their continuous connection to culture, community and Country. The land is depited in punctilinear style showing a mosaic of land conditions and vegetation communities by way of the different colours used. I understand that the mosaic firing of the grasslands sustains a diversity of wildlife and food sources. While some patches may be red earth exposed, yellow areas remind us of the wildflowers and of the seeding ripening grasslands. Blue may suggest areas recently burnt. 
Around the perimeter of this landscape different motifs of plants, nuts, bees, grubs and other food are presented.
Across the landscape,  move emus and kangaroos as evidenced by their distinctive tracks. Then from different communities come the tracks of people converging on the learning centre, Irrkerlantye, where they meet, congregate, paint, make and record music and engage in other crafts and learning.
