Karldurrk (Blue-winged kookaburra) – APW

We see karldurrk (the blue-winged kookaburra, Dacelo leachii) in many different clan countries, by rivers and in the open forests and jungle areas. We hear her singing in the morning, during the day and in the afternoon when the sun is about to go down. We don’t hunt karldurrk, she’s not good eating. But she hunts small animals like grasshoppers and other insects.

Created at the Australian Print Workshop in Melbourne, this lithograph showcases the integration of modern technologies with traditional art practices.
