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.
