- Artwork story
- 'This is olden days painting (Parlini Jilamara). Long time ago in the early days we put Yalinga - red, Arrikininga - yellow and Tutyangini - white ochre on our face and body for Pukamani and Kulama ceremonies. We call this Minga. Sometimes we still do this. My husband taught me this style. He used to tell me story about that painting.’
