Beswick Classic by Harry Malibirr

Senior artists at Djilpin Arts have been sharing culture for decades, ensuring knowledge is being passed on for future generations. As time passes, mobility, steady hand or vision issues increase, with the artist’s ability to document and transfer stories becoming somewhat reduced. Djilpin is supporting these artists to stay connected and maintain income by releasing their portfolio through this Classic Beswick Series.

Classic Beswick is a series of reproductions on paper. This is Classic Harry Malibirr.

Material: 308gsm heavy weight acid free cotton rag art paper

Size: 20cm x 20cm

Stories:
Sugar Bag Tucker
This piece depicts flowers and leaves from the Stringybark tree, which are good tucker for sugar bag (native) bees. The flowering of the tree is an indication that sugar bag hives are ready to be harvested.

Bush Tools
This piece by Harry Malibirr depicts a series of important bush tools: stone blades, dillybags, coolamons or water carriers, and bondocks or woomeras. Some fire starting implements can also be seen.
