Description
Sarrita King was born in Adelaide on March 5th 1988. She spent most of her youth in Darwin, where her Mother still resides. Sarrita’s father, William King, was from the Gurindji tribe, in the Northern Territory. Most of his family still lives in the Northern Territory, specifically Katherine.
The element fire inspires this painting. Not only is fire important to us and the land, it connects us with our ancestors. Sarrita’s father would explain the connection of all things in life and explain to Sarrita that her ancestors would experience the same connection to the earth as her when feeling the warmth of fire and looking into the deep colours.
