A small island community in the Northern Territory is producing nationally and internationally recognised artists, seven of whom have been nominated in this year’s Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Art Awards.

Pedro Wonaeamirri has been an artist for 30 years and says his natural surroundings inspire his art.

“We sand down the pigments and mix them with water and PVA glue. The only difference with ceremony is that we don’t use glue, we keep it natural.” He says while he’s been nominated seven times prior to this, every nomination is special in its own way.“It’s also very powerful to have five artists from Mili and two artists from Pirli nominated this year.”

“Tiwi culture is a rich visual culture, the artwork itself is often based ceremony, but also Jilamara body paint design,” he said.
