She depicts female pop culture icons - including Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, Catwoman, Cher and Wonder Woman - all connected to the Kungkarangkalpa Tjukurpa, or Seven Sisters Story. These heroines, however, are shown partying at Iwantja Art Centre in Indulkana, South Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer comic-book style and text bubbles are hilarious yet potent symbols of female power in an Aboriginal setting. A joyful visual anthem, Whiskey's work draws from the country music, rock'n'roll and Anangu songs played in her household growing up. An in-depth interview with the artist punctuates the richly illustrated pages in which Whiskey describes her creative process - blending Anangu traditions with contemporary culture by painting jugs of Coca-Cola alongside mingkulpa (native bush tobacco), lollipops, honey ants and love hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by the renowned curator Natalie King and the team at Iwantja Arts, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Art of Kaylene Whiskey: Do You Believe in Love?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the first major monograph on the artist.
