Galharra

About the Artwork: The Yindjibarndi Galharra or skin group system is a way of recognising the different relationships people have with one another. It helps a person to identify their family relationships, rights and responsibilities. It also influences a person's behaviour in terms of who they can marry and speak with. About the Artist: Mahsari is a young Yindjibarndi woman living and working is Ngurrawaana. She has recently started painting, learning the stories and techniques from her nana, Judith Coppin. She draws inspiration from the country around her, specifically the plants. She is also a budding photographer, taking long walks around the country and along the beaches around Cossack. 25-176 Acrylic on Canvas 50 x 50 cm
