“I love listening to music while I’m working, and the music gives me ideas for the pictures. I might be listening to Tina Turner and that reminds me of when Tina was in the movie Mad Max 3 in the sparkly silver dress. Mad Max is filmed in the Outback and looks just like Indulkana, so I start thinking about what it might be like if Tina came to my community.” – Kaylene Whiskey
