Work by Desmond Woodforde, Shane Dodd and Richard Nelson.
Desmond, Shane and Richard are among the next generation of male artists mentored by cultural leader and artist Robert Fielding. These wati (men) have worked together to reimagine ways of making on Country with the materials available. Many of the processes used were originally introduced to the studio by Fielding and have been taken up by the other men now working at Mimili Maku Arts.
Wankaringanyi (Waking Up) marks the first group showing of these men, Their diverse practices encompass storytelling, music, painting, printing, sculpture, and on-Country Land Management. They creatively bring Tjukurpa to life by using found metals from Country to tell their stories.
