Yingarliwa (blue bone) – Amanda Rose

Yingarliwa design by Amanda Rose is inspired by her love of fishing and spending time on country fishing with her family, throwing her handline into the nagula (ocean) to see what she can catch. Amanda says ‘You’ve gotta wait for Man-gala Season (The Wet Season) to catch these reef fish because that’s when they are nice and fat.’

Biography:

Amanda Rose was born in Rubibi, Broome and has lived here all her life. She began practicing at Nagula Jarndu in 2015 learning hand printing skills, particularly lino block printing on textiles. Amanda Rose grew up spending time with her extended family on Yawuru Country- fishing, hunting, camping out and learning important Yawuru knowledge from the old people. In her art, she is often drawn to the Dreaming story of the Gujarra Jurru- the two headed snake, protector of niyamarri burru (white sand dune country) at Walmanyjun (Cable Beach). Amanda is also a very keen fisherwoman and depicts some of her favourite ocean feeds in her art- yingarliwa (blue bone) and gulban (mullet) best caught during Mangala Season (the Wet Season) when they are nice and fat.
