Title: GETALAI (CRAB) – 1 OF 3
This print is based on outside fire that we like to roast crabs (Getalai). The orange stands for cooked crabs and black is badly burnt steamed crabs.
This print its about walking through the back tracks in the village with all the little short cuts to get to places and all you could see if are all the thongs marks if someone was recently walking through the back tracks as well. Backtracks are where all the people sometimes walk through to get to places faster or if they live a long way from where they need to get to.
Art Centre notes:
