Artwork Story
Birds are one of Janice Murray’s favourite subjects and include Whistling Duck, Jabiru and Pelican. The geometric structure of ceremonial body designs or Jilamara is also incorporated into her art. Ceremonial rituals are often associated with mythological stories involving ancestors who were transformed into animals or birds. Tiwi artists have their own individual interpretation of the designs.
