DESCRIPTION

TitleKununurra, 1997DescriptionTimms started painting in the mid 1980s after working as a stockman on stations throughout the Eastern Kimberley. He worked in close association with renowned artist Rover Thomas. Timms’ paintings often depict traditional lands from where clans have been forcibly removed.

Kununurra is very close to the border with Northern Territory, set up to support the Ord River Irrigation development. When the Ord was dammed and the artificial lake created it flooded many of the areas that were sacred sites to local clans.Date1997TechniqueAcrylic on canvasCreatorFreddie Ngarramaliny Timms Dimensions190 x 180cmCategoryArt | Indigenous Art Collection
