Story:
Her father, the late William King, passed down this series of paintings to Sarrita. The imagery reflects on the patterns of the earth while reflecting on the circle. The deeper meaning behind this painting is the connection between all people and the world around them. The circles and dots identify the connections and relationships found throughout life.

Title: Language of the Earth
Medium: Nickel Silver, 14ct White Gold Plate
Size: 25mm
Year: 2020
Story:
This is the earth’s story. It is also the story of black and white upon the land and the history we have created and carved into it by our interactions with one another. The intersections of black and white culture and how they meet, creating a narrative in the land and in history, and then moving on in their individual and collaborative journeys are abstractly depicted. These paintings thematically diverge from Sarrita’s elemental inspired series. In an abstract way Sarrita references the iconography of the Tingari creation ancestors with her use of strong rectangles. These are then given body with dots and dashes, similar to Morse code. These symbols of communication are haunting in their familiarity, like an ancient language that was once known but now sits dormant at the back of one’s memory. The overall aesthetic is bold and assertive, and just like much iconography in Aboriginal cultures, the ancient now appears contemporary.

Title: Lightning
Medium: Nickel Silver, 14ct White Gold Plate
Size: 25mm
Year: 2020
Story:
Sarrita’s Lightning paintings are a painted memory of the electrical storms in the tropical climate of Darwin where Sarrita spent her youth. The lightning would crack across the entire sky, creating lines not dissimilar to cracked earth. And with the lightning came the winds that in their fury whipped up all the dust, rain, heat and magnetic energy into a maelstrom in the air. Sarrita would discover new patterns and colours every time she witnessed these natural light shows.
Sarrita paints the lightning series in two main ways: she either encapsulates the intensity of the storm and the driving rain to the point where it is seemingly audible or contrarily, she points out the subtle beauty within the storm and the way in which the elements gracefully twist and turn between the dramatic lightning strikes.

Title: Language of the Earth III
Medium: Sculpture, Metal, Natural Tarnish
Size: 60x50x25cm
Year: 2020
With this sculpture Sarrita wanted to translate her ‘Language of the Earth” story into a 3D object. The choice to use metal is a reflection on the strength and longevity of the Australian Indigenous culture and the stories passed down over the centuries. The tarnish is a reflection of the age of the markings and long history of these stories.
