Artist statement
Cynthia Burke’s paintings depict topographical maps of the country surrounding and of Warakurna Community. Her works often explore the changes this landscape undergoes with changing seasons. She maps out the numerous waterholes and sandhills to show the subtle contours of this country. While Cynthia’s paintings do not speak specifically to Tjukurrpa (Dreaming), her work is always heavily influenced by culture, country, and her family.
