Gabriel-Maralngurra-Catalogue
Gabriel Maralngurra was introduced to rockart by his uncle, Thompson Yulidjirri (c. 1930-2009), who took him to see the paintings on Injalak Hill when he was a child. Gabriel is inspired by the rock art galleries around West ArnhemLand which are often densely layered with paintings. Rock art painting is a tradition which has been dated back to at least 45,000 years before the present.

Marebu were traditionally valuable items made by women. They were made in a variety of shapes and had many uses including: being worn, used as surfaces for food preparation and used during ceremonies. Children could sleep on them or be rolled up in them and carried, especially during yekke (the cold season in June/July). 🌞
We are looking for a men’s field officer! This is an excellent opportunity to work with the men as they go out on country collecting bark and other materials. If you are interested please contact us at operations@injalak.com

In the studio with Larry Bangarr, we talk about his approach to colour. Larry determines colours before he begins: three in foreground and two for the back. Pictured is Larry using a manyilk (sedge grass) brush to paint ochre onto dolobbo (stringy bark).
