Magnet featuring Woorre-Woorrem in Wet Season artwork design by Brenda Ningarmara.
MATERIALS: Premium Grade Soft Magnet
DIMENSIONS: 7cm
ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:
In this painting, Brenda depicts her mother’s Country when it floods with wet season rains. During the wet season, the creeks, rivers and freshwater springs of Woorre-woorrem overflow multiplying their meander until the country is criss-crossed with watercourses.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
"I was born in Kununurra. I now have four children. I watch the old people painting - that's how I got started. It teaches me about Country. I am ready to take over the stories of my mother. I learnt from her to tell her stories and pass them on to my children and grandchildren."
Brenda is a dedicated artist, and her arts practice includes ochre painting and textiles. She also works at the art centre as a Miriwoong Tour Guide informing visitors about Miriwoong art and culture.
