Product Details
This is the story of the people of the Wandjinas and their unbroken living cosmology of Lai lai - the Dreaming - which manifest most memorably in the dazzling giant Wandjina designed by Donny (Nyorna) Woolagoodja for the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics."
It is also the story of Sam Woolagoodja, who was responsible for repainting the sacred Wandjinas in many of the rock shelters that dot the West Kimberley landscape, and was among the first to paint the sacred stories on bark and board for Worrorra children living far from their homelands. Keeping the Wandjinas Fresh traces the journey that brought Donny to rekindling the tradition of freshening the Wandjinas. Thirty-two full colour plates feature Sam's and Donny's paintings and the work of other major Mowanjum artists.
