White tears
This Painting represents how indigenous women experience challenging times. When we attempt to speak up, sometimes our voice is not heard because white tears are louder and stronger than our black hearts, which causes brown scars. When we live these confronting experiences we are often forced into the background which creates more internal scars.

Kakan (Black Palm) Basket Weaving
This design shows how the bottom part of a black palm basket is woven. My grandmothers and aunties used to make them. They cut off the young palm leaves in the centre, stripped and scrapped them. Then they would put the strips in freshwater to make them soft and keep them straight for weaving.

Kakárra (bush flowers)
This design features lost of flowers and bush food from around the coastal areas of Entrance Island and Maningrida.
‘There are the leaves of the black plum – we call that karranganjónganja vita glabrata. There are also jungle flowers that we find when we are looking for yam, I don’t know what they call them but that’s the curly one. The small one in the middle is the flowers of the warakkála (flowers of the long yam). These flowers grow all over this region, you can find them when you walk around the bush. Marilyn James
