Jilamara artists make new prints

Jilamara artist, Pius Tipungwuti working on an etching plate, while one of Conrad Tipungwuti’s plates dries in the foreground. Although the weather was pretty wet for Basil’s recent workshop on the island, over 20 artists turned up to make a new suite of etchings which Basil will print and Jilamara will publish in the coming months. Senior artists Pedro Wonaemiri, Janice Murray, Timothy Cook, Raeleen and Pauletta Kerinaua were joined by emerging artists and others who have worked with numerous visiting printmakers from APW, Northern Editions, Red Hand and BHE over the last 15 years.
