Wall Malgarr with Garrng Garrng Kookaburra Design.
Traditionally malgarr ( shields ) were used with liyangayil ( fighting clubs)
for hand to hand combat with our enemies. I have replicated the shape of these shields in my artwork.
Garrng Garrng is the Taungwurrung name for the Kookaburra.
It is a bird that is known for its distinctive laugh and is a skilled hunter
with its large beak. You can often hear Garrng Garrng early in the
morning, laughing in the distance.
Hand crafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber.
All artefacts come with an information card. The card has information about the artist, artefact and design. All designs are based on traditional symbols from South East Australia.
