Clifford Possum - Our Country
Our Country – A collaborative effort by Clifford, Michelle and Gabriella Possum
Digital Print 72 x 97 cm

Our Country describes the day to day activity of an area Clifford Possum & his family called ‘Our Country’ – Napperby Station. The painting shows a wedding celebration that is about to take place, and the hunting and gathering in preparation for it. This is an ariel, typical view of their country.

  • The rainbow lines show the Napperby Creek in flood time.
  • The five yellow tracks leading to the centre are the tracks of possums heading towards a water hole.
  • The U shapes depict women sitting with a carrying dish called a coolumun with a digging stick beside them.
  • Men are also depicted with the U shape, but the prints left in the sand are boomerangs and spears.
  • The footprints show a man walking through the desert with a kangaroo on his back. The weight is causing him to drag his big toe and stumble forward.
  • The five U shapes at the top of the piece depict five women making ceremonial headdresses with white cockatoo feathers and grass reed that is only used in wedding ceremonies.
  • The white pods are witchetty grubs – a favoured bush tucker.
  • The blue circles running from left to right with a line connecting them are underground water systems.
  • The line connecting the water holes are foot tracks left from thousands of years of use.
  • The large golden brush is spinifex.
  • The large circle at the top of the piece is where the wedding will take place – on the male’s sacred grandfather’s country.
  • The green bush vine within the rainbow lines are bush banana plants.
  • The circular oranges areas are camp sites.
