Mick Kubarkku was the cultural custodian (djungkay) of specific totemic animals and spirit beings. His lorrkon in this collection includes two images of freshwater turtles and one of Namarrkon, the Lightning Spirit. Namarrkon causes the lightning and thunder that accompany tropical storms that occur in his homeland between October and December, before the start of tropical monsoon season each summer. The body form of Namarrkon is said to represent ngaldjurr the Leichhardt’s Grasshopper (Petasida ephippigera), which is active and most visible during this time of year.
Do his children use these same animals and spirit beings? Did Kubarkku’s rights include YawkYawks? His children used them.

Crusoe Kurddal Crusoe Kurddal is renown for his large mimih sculptures, which are reminiscent of those made by his father, Crusoe Kuningbal. Kurddal started making these sculptures following his father’s death in 1984. Initially, he worked in a style almost identical to that of his father, however, over the years he has dramatically increased the scale of the mimihs. Kurddal experiments with colour and form, producing black mimihs and double mimihs (where one figure stands on the shoulders of another). More recently, Kurddal has created female mimihs complete with pandanus skirts, and cast-bronze mimihs. Kurddal’s works were permanently installed in the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Yiribana Gallery when it opened in 1994. Kurddal is also an accomplished dancer and has performed throughout Australia and toured internationally. |
