Melanie Koolmatrie (Ngarrindjeri)
Between the Lakes
2025
119 × 119cm
Acrylic on canvas

“This painting depicts the songlines that flow between Lake Albert and Lake Alexandrina, extending into the River Murray. These waterways carry ancient spiritual pathways that hold stories of creation, movement, and connection. The work reflects how these lakes are interconnected, forming a living network that links Ngarrindjeri Country, culture, and community.”

Currently showing in Water Stories at Yitpi Yartapuultiku until 16 March 2026.

Please note that artwork purchases will be available for collection in late March from the Ku Arts office in Tarntanya / Adelaide.
