Held in major collections nationally and internationally, the painted artworks build on a 65,000+ history using only four colours red, yellow, white and black. For the weavings, the plant material is worked and treated in the ways passed on from ancestors and in doing, recreate and identify with sacred ceremonial objects which connect Yolngu to each other, to their past, their Creative Beings and to their Country. Each piece carries profound spiritual meaning, ancestral authority, and a deep connection to place.
