Curatorial insightThis work is an eight-panel work that reveals the story of the artist's uncle who narrowly escaped death at the hands of white cattle station workers. This event occurred around the beginning of the 1900s. There are a number of artworks like this from the east Kimberley region that describe the massacre of Aboriginal people. These events remain a part of the living memory of the Gija and other Aboriginal peoples of the Kimberley. (AGWA 2015)
