Artist story:
Gabriella is a Walmajarri-Nykina woman based in Broome. The kakaji (goanna) design is a symbol of great strength and integrity for Gabriella and you can see this in the way she has drawn her. She is surrounded by spinifex grasses and ant hills. Goannas start hibernating underground in Makurra (the cold season) including the mother’s that are carrying eggs. This is where they stay until the first storms in yitilal (the rainy season).
