Artwork Story

The artist has applied pwoja (comb) to show the thousands of tracks and sand markings that the arijilani (hermit crab) burrows create at each low tide. Reflecting a landscape in both material and form, this work foregrounds a style of mark making that is traditionally reserved for ceremonial body painting to describe the character of country

Limited edition collagraph and silkscreen on Hahnemuhle paper. Made in November 2022 during a print workshop at Jilamara with Masterprinter Basil Hall.
