Water Rock Hole and Sand Hill by Susie Pollard depicts an important landscape of the Central Desert where waterholes and sand hills shape the life of Country. In the desert environment, rock holes are vital sources of water that have sustained Aboriginal people, animals and plant life for countless generations.

In this painting, Susie represents the water rock holes as places where water collects among the rocks after rain, creating gathering points within the vast desert landscape. The surrounding sand hills are shown through flowing patterns and rhythmic forms that reflect the movement and shape of the desert dunes across Country.

Painted from an aerial perspective, the artwork reflects the traditional way many Aboriginal artists portray the land—showing Country as it is known through story, memory and cultural knowledge. The painting speaks to the importance of water in the desert and the deep connection between people and the landscape that sustains them.

Through vibrant colour and layered patterning, Susie Pollard shares a visual story of the land around Mount Liebig, celebrating the enduring relationship between water, sand hills and life in the Central Desert.

Description

Susie Pollard

Susie Pollard is an Aboriginal artist from the community of Mount Liebig (Watiyawanu) in the Central Desert of the Northern Territory. The region lies west of Alice Springs and is part of the Western Desert cultural landscape, an area known for its strong painting traditions and deep connection to ancestral Country.

Susie’s artworks reflect the stories, landscapes and cultural knowledge of her homeland. Through the use of traditional iconography, rhythmic dotting and flowing patterns, she represents important features of the desert environment such as sandhills, waterholes and sacred sites. These elements are connected to Dreaming stories that have been passed down through generations and continue to guide cultural life today.

Artists from the Mount Liebig region often paint from an aerial perspective, showing Country as it is understood through memory, ceremony and ancestral story rather than from ground level. Susie Pollard’s paintings carry this tradition forward, translating knowledge of Country into vibrant contemporary works.

Her art celebrates the enduring relationship between people, land and culture in the Central Desert, sharing stories of place while maintaining respect for the traditions that inspire them.
