• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A beautiful story of Kylie's life on her grandmother's Country, Raymangirr, a remote Yol¿u homeland in North East Arnhem Land in the Top End of Australia. This is a sweetly told story of the author's experiences with her grandmother. From watching her grinding ochre and painting in the shade of a tree, to hunting for bush honey (guku) and painting cermonial guku designs on their bodies (special permission was given to Kylie to paint this) and doing the guku dance to full-moon night fishing and cooking up a fish feast on the beach. Raymägirrbuy dhäwu When I was a little girl developed through the author's expressed interest in developing her skills in writing and illustrating. With the support of Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts Kylie developed the story with her mother and grandmother about the country, and cultural activities Gapuwiyak and in their Raymangirr homelands.

Autorenporträt

"I learnt to draw at school. When I stayed out bush I sat with my grandmother and watched her paint. I used to get boxes and paint on them. She painted with ochres and glue. Later she showed me how to make the marawat (hair) brush to do the fine line work. Since then I have learnt how to use acrylics as well. Painting keeps me busy and relaxed. I like to paint all the animals and the country." Kylie was born in Darwin and moved to Gapuwiyak with her mother where she started school. When a school opened on her grandmother's country Raymägirr Kylie went to school there. The language of Raymägirr is Marräu but this story is told in Djambarrpuy¿u because everyone understands Djambarrpuy¿u in North-east Arnhem Land, although there are many other languages.
