Artwork Description

This series of prints depict the first beings who lived in Arnhem Land talking and interacting amongst themselves. “Long time ago this mob were walking about, sleeping in caves at night, eating sugar-bag and yams. Their hair and smell was different to us bininj (people), but that kunwok (language) was the same”. Graham Rostron 2022

Artist Bio

Graham Rostron is a cultural teacher, artist, dancer, musician and song man. "My Father died when I was just crawling. I did not know him. Then we were living at Madginbardi. Then we went to Maningrida to be with family, following my mother. My second dad brought me up at his outstation at Korlorbirrahda. His name is Tom Noytuna- you may have seen a photograph of him on an orange phone with lots of ceremonial paint on his face. Korlorbirrahda is a long way out into the Great Arnhem Plateau. He was keeping me when I was little and he showed me hunting and painting and explaining to me everything. He gave me confidence."
