- This image depicts the good hunting spirits (at the top) with anthropomorphic spirit creatures known around the expansive and beautiful reefs in the Torres Strait. There are also evil creatures which make wave turbulence and overturn boats. The laser cut image on the Skateboard is a reproduction of the artist's original linocut.
