The Trumpet Blower II

This artwork tells a story about myself, how I was specifically chosen by the elders of my community and was taught from a very young age to use a trumpet blower to notify he community if there was any special occasions. The community members would know exactly which event is about to occur by the sound of the trumpet, each events had their own unique rhythms and style.

Biography:

My name is Flora Warria, I'm from Kubin Community On Moa Island In the Torres Strait.

I am a descendant of the Mualgal Tribe. My ancestral land where I come from is Wug (now known as St Pauls Community).

Art and Craft has been a influence in my life from a very young age.

This knowledge has been passed down to me from generation to generation through oral teaching from ancestral time. This practice is still a big part of our lifestyle today.

In my art work I like to use natural materials and resources that is collected from my local area, with traditional knowledge I try to express my art and craft into contemporary visual arts.

My aim is to teach the younger generations to preserve and maintain our rich culture knowledge and practices for our future.
