Artwork Story
Dino created this etching during a print workshop with Master Printer, Basil Hall in 2017.
Jilamara translates to design. Jilamara is originally drawn from the body painting which accompanied the Pukumani (funeral) and Kulama (initiation / yam) ceremonies. All the artists living at Milikapiti are drawing on collective Tiwi memory, and the individual expression and aesthetic qualities of each artist’s work is reflective of their personal interpretation of Jilamara.
