"Kirriwirri is a jila (living water) near well 33 on the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert. Daniel's painting reflects the complex desert landscape full of life and colour. He depicts saltlakes (white areas) and the talis (sandhills).
'Kiriwirri is the birthplace of my father's family — it is the family home...Kiriwirri is also important to many other family and clan groups because it is a living jila meaning it has water that never dries out even during the driest of seasons. I have never been to Kiriwirri but I have a deep desire within to travel and see this country to become connected… I also paint another important place called Wirnpa. Wirnpa and Kiriwirri are very important to me because I am related to two of these jila. Kiriwirri is my grandfather and Wirnpa is my grandfather — they are also related to each other being brothers in law.'"
