Farewell Pirlangimpi

We have finished our two week stay here on the Tiwi Islands - achieved much, learnt more. It has been one of those rich experiences which will be cherished for years to come.

After saying goodbye to the team - with the promise to return and talk through what the research has found and what so many people so generously shared with us, I thought I'd share some of my favourite images from the Island.

The shop barge - Tuesday morning, arriving with supplies for the week

The way the windows work on the old church (now gym/storage area)

The Team - Anthony, Anthony, Tony, Barry, Fiona, Irene, Maree, Mary Veronica, Bernardo

Loads of lino cuts ready to print at the Women's Centre

The wet - it just takes over...

  5. Your photos brought back memories of working in the Pacific, especially the overgrown car. The lino cuts are great, I'm sure wonderful things will come of them.

  7. I can't believe it's two weeks already! You must both be exhausted and looking forward to spending some time at home (I guess! Maybe you're about to leap off somewhere else!)... Happy Easter, Sara x

  8. What an adventure - so different from our coast line. Lots of subliminal imagery to use in art works to come xoxoxox
