Dhambit #2 Wanambi (dec.) "Yalanba"

Yalanba is the name of the artist's brother. But it is also the name of the beach from which the shiny black sand that adorns this painting comes from. It occurs in one spot only at Bayapula near Garthalala on Caledon Bay. The old base for Donald Thomson's NTSRU in the Second World War. She harvests it from this place because that area belongs to her clan the Marrakulu whose identity is depicted in this work. 123 x 64 cms. Ochre and Shiny Black Sand on plywood.
