Stone Fish Traps - Netta Loogatha

'Ngurruwarra means stone fish trap in our language. We can still see the fish traps that the old people built along the coasts of Bentinck Island.Ó

'I paint the story places, all different places, true story places. We learned these from the old people. We learned what's not for touching. They tell us what it means. We do this so we can pass these stories down to our grandchildren while we're still alive. They love to hear our stories because of the olden time Dreamtime stories and dancing. There are lots of things that I remember to tell in stories.Ó

'I am happy to show other people My Country and Culture. It brings a smile to my face when I finish an artwork and see a part of me on it.Ó - Netta Loogatha Birrmuyingathi Maali
