Milgis Moon by David W M Roberts

2023

About the Item

The Milgis River in Northern Kenya is a seasonal river, it doesn’t flow all the time, so when it does, it’s a lifeline to the remote Samburu tribes which travel long distances to collect its water. I traveled three days to get there and had to carry enough water and food for my two week painting excursion. Full moon over this landscape shone an otherworldly light over the valley, making the desert appear almost glacial at this time of night.
