About

These new etchings from Djilpin Arts at Beswick Community in Arnhem Land make up the third series of the 'Gapu' edition, developed with Darwin print maker Basil Hall (Basil Hall Editions). The artists are from Mialli (West Arnhem) and Wagilak (North East Arnhem) language groups. Artists have depicted scenes around 'gapu' (water), central to their daily lives and to the extensive cultural knowledge system of remote Arnhem Land.
