This termite mound has been well and truly captured from all angles. It can now be seen in various beautiful etching plates currently being drawn in Darwin at Basil Hall Editions, during a frantic 10 day period in late October. The artists are here courtesy of Nomad Art Productions, who arranged the funding and organised for a group of printmakers, gallery staff and visitors to camp at Baniyala in eastern Arnhem Land and work with Indigenous traditional owners. Nomad will jointly publish the resulting etchings and BHE will edition them in 2010.
