Brolgas by Selone Djandjomerr

Selone Djandjomerr is a Kunwinjku artist who was born in Darwin and grew up in Kakadu. His country is in East Arnhemland. Selone works as a tour guide with Yellow Water Tours, sharing his vast knowledge of the area, the stories past down to him and his language. He paints with ‘grass’, which is the stem of a freshwater reed that has many fibres inside. These are pared to the thickness required for his Skin Group. The thickness of the lines and the way they applied are very important – besides Skin, they tell the Clan and Country of the artist.
