• Notes:
  This work is accompanied by a certificate from Munupi Arts and Crafts Association which states: ‘This work depicts the tidal movement of waters in and around the seas and creeks of the Tiwi Islands. Not just influencing fishing and hunting opportunities, the movement of the water carries masses of silt and sand, transforming the land and changing the coastal landscape. Winga can also be translated as ‘waves’, just one part of the changing tides. Tidal surges are at their most powerful when a king tide occurs during the Wet Season.’
