Phyllis has painted the traditional scarification marks that Gija people used to incise on each other for law and ceremonial activities. In Gija this is called Gemerre.’This is them scars that the old people used to cut across their bodies. Their leg, arm and stomach. This keep im safe when going across rivers, so that the Rainbow Serpent doesn’t get you.’
