Artwork Description

We always go fishing for lots of fish, big and small. Good ones we eat, bad ones we don't. We eat fish that live in freshwater and saltwater. The fish we catch and eat here in the freshwater have many different names, such as "Namarnkol" (barramundi) which is an important fish for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to catch and eat.

Haley Bangarr is the daughter of Julianne Galngarr and Jerry Bangarr, and her brothers Barry and Larry Bangarr are also prominent artists at Injalak Arts. She grew up and attended school at Kumarrirnbang outstation, where she also learnt to weave. Kumarrirnbang outstation is known for the large amount of bush cane or flagellaria indica (midjakkurrk) growing there, and Haley has come to use this material often for the framework oher pandanus sculptures. She has also carved a large number of Mimih Spirit figures.
