Rerrkirrwaŋa Munungurr’s *The Ancestral Hearth* presents bark paintings centered on gurtha—fire—and its ancestral significance within Madarrpa and Gumatj Country in Northeast Arnhem Land. Using natural ochres and fine brushes made from human hair, Munungurr creates intricate clan designs in which diamond patterns evoke flames and delicate white marks suggest sparks, connecting Country, kinship, and ancestral knowledge.
