Delvine depicts her ancestral country, Alhalkere, and the arid terrain that defines the landscape of the expansive Utopia homelands of Central Australia. Using a combination of intricate white dots and fine linework to capture the dry rivulets, creeks, sandhills, soakage sites and other features of the terrain from a topographic point of view. She takes great care in capturing the Dreamings of her father and grandfather’s country. Delvine often includes salient streams of dotted colour across otherwise monochromatic canvases, giving her artworks a striking, effortlessly contemporary aesthetic.
