Waumer

Waumer – Pirates of the Air When I watch the waumer I can tell what the weather is going to do. When they fly high in the sky you know the weather is fine – they fly in spirals with their wings stretched out riding the thermals hardly flapping at all. When they come over land at coconut tree height you know there is strong wind coming. I like to watch them as they glide through the air. I call them pirates of the air because they are quite lazy often stealing fish from other birds. There are three different types of frigate birds all of them fly near our island. I have tried to capture them in flight as I see them flying overhead. The frigate bird with the red under its neck is my totem.

This work is made by hand, any inconsistencies are inherent qualities of the process and should be treasured as such. This work is made from recycled fishing gear and other materials that have been repurposed. While all care has been taken to ensure the longevity of these materials, it is best to avoid strong direct sunlight and exposure to extreme weather conditions. Clean with water only.

Kebi Nam, Hurry Up We Go

A number of varieties of turtles nest and breed on the shores of the Torres Strait. Turtles are important to Torres Strait Islanders in so many different ways. It is one of their traditional tribal totems and it has been part of their customs to hunt turtles as one of their main food sources.

In Australia, abandoned fishing nets (also known as ghost nets) from boats are washed ashore, trapping marine species such as turtles and dugongs. Sadly, these turtles make up 80 percent of the marine life found caught in the nets. As an environmental project, Erub Artists are utilising these abandoned ghost nets in an attempt to clean up the oceans. Their objective is to raise awareness about the negative impacts of ghost nets by creating art such as this turtle out of reclaimed fishing nets.
