Over twenty years Liss Fenwick has photographed the Larrakia Country on which their family lives, addressing the inevitable failures of settling stolen land. Fenwick grew up in a rural district on the tropical fringe of the Northern Territory, at Humpty Doo, and returns to make pictures of the next generation of the family growing up there — darkly humorous and intimate, with the surrounding savannah always present, and engaging with what it means to represent what will always be Larrakia land.
