When I was younger, I would help my dad and uncle burn patterns into boomerangs. Now I carve these lines into the clay. These lines are contour lines of my country – Adnyamathanha Yarta.

Donna Coulthard.

I was born in the old Leigh Creek town on Adnyamathanha Country, Flinders Ranges. I was a few weeks old when we moved to

Copley. I’ve been here my whole life, going out bush. I learnt to ride horses and motorbikes out here.

I used to draw on the ground and paint on rocks, graffi􀆟 on trees. Art was my favourite subject at school.
