Brolga & Mimi Spirits | 98h x 128w | RK137

Not framed or stretched | Acrylic on canvas

Eddie primarily paints stories associated with his family and ancestors daily life in the Roper River area. He incorporates important family totems, bush tucker, hunting and corroboree themes. As he paints, he recounts Dreaming stories and relevant songs and dancing cycles that were passed down to him from his Grandfather.

His depiction of animals, fish and the Mimi Rock Spirits of his country, featuring the finest cross-hatch style in natural earth pigments is remarkable.
