As with many aboriginal artists, Timothy Djandjomerrpaints the stories he was told as a small child. He paints with 'grass' which is the stem of a freshwater reed that has many fibres inside. These are prepared to the thickness required for his Skin Group. The thickness of the lines and the way they are applied are very important - besides Skin, they tell the Clan and Country of the artist.
