These animals carved onto the ceramic Boab are part of an ongoing telling of the stories of where I grew up since I was a kid. They are special to us as both totems and for food. They are important cultural figures. These animals occur right from my father’s side in the west in Broome /Karajarri Country through my mother’s land Gija Country in the East Kimberley. 

I am connected with these animals through my culture and dreaming. I want to share this important knowledge with people who see my work.
