This book features Pedro Wonaeamirri, who was born in 1974 at Pirlangimpi on Melville Island. His Country is Goose Creek, Melville Island; his skin group Mulipurrula (White Cockatoo); and his dance Jilarti (Brolga). A member of Jilamara Arts & Crafts Association since 1991, he lives and works at Milikapiti on Melville Island. Wonaeamirri works across various mediums including natural ochres on paper, linen and bark, print-making, and carving. Using natural ochres collected from around Milikapiti, and a kayimwagakimi (traditional Tiwi painting comb), Wonaeamirri works within the strong Tiwi practice of pwoja (body designs) to continue and celebrate Tiwi tradition and culture.
