Context (CMS Context)
Earthy, coloured version of 2013.207. Like others this work bears imagery associated with the yam ceremonies that were and still are of paramount importance. This impressive print and its black and white counterpart we would look to exhibit with others, demonstrating the personal responses to and adaptations of the customary iconography in new media by the various Tiwi artists.
