How Artworks Are Sent

Ochre / Kimberley artworks are shipped on canvas or linen, already stretched, ready to hang unless stated otherwise.

Acrylic artworks are shipped on canvas or linen un-stretched, rolled up in a cardboard tube unless stated otherwise.

These artworks will need to be stretched around a wooden frame before hanging

This can be done by nearly any picture framer (highly recommended) or you can DIY if you’re confident in your handiwork.

There are numerous "how to" videos on YouTube showing you how to achieve this.

Artist Profile

 
Paddy Fordham Wainburranga
Born:    c. 1932 – June 2006
Region: Southern Arnhem Land, South West Arnhem
Language:       Rembarrnga
Local Group (clan): Mirraytja
Social Affiliations: Dhuwa moiety, Gela subsection
 
Paddy is an elder of the Rembarrnga tribe.  As such he has worked in music, dancing and story – telling as a way of life quite apart from painting and sculpture.  He is called on frequently to participate in ceremonies all around the Northern Territory. Paddy is also called upon to take part in events of national importance to Aboriginal people.  
 
In 1988, on the occasion of the Bicentennary of white colonisation of Australia, Paddy took a prominent part in the Aboriginal memorial, completing some 30 of the 200 hollow log coffins made to commemorate Aboriginal deaths since colonisation. He also attended the 5th Pacific Festival of Arts and Culture in Townsville as leader of the Beswick Dancers, and in the same year made a film “Too many Captain Cooks”, to put forward an Aboriginal view of Australian history. Paddy’s work often depicts the spirit figures of his country.

Loving how Kirstie finds brilliant artists and shares not only the artwork, but the back story of both the piece AND the artist. You can tell she absolutely loves Aboriginal art, and she has such great rapport with the artists.
