Turtle, 2022
$1,500.00
Our Old People taught us skills to live off and from the land. They had extensive knowledge about flora and fauna that surrounded them, and it was this knowledge that sustained us for over 65,000 years. This print highlights the importance of the turtle. The rich meat of the turtle is a favoured meal on the table. Just like the dugong, our Old People were warriors and would hunt for them out in the ocean. This skill being passed down in the male lineage. Nothing gets wasted on the turtle, we use the oil from the meat for medicine. The shell is utilised for our accessories, tools and weapons.
