Re: [Dialogue] Mowanjum Pictures Anyone?
Thanks, Dharma. Many of the stunning art pieces in your link remind me of the bark painting George Winnigudj sent to Joe and me following the July - August 1969 Singapore ITI. As you probably recall, George and his colleague Silas Roberts were two aboriginal "pioneers" who joined 118 other people from across Seapac and South Asia for that first 6-week training program. George's gift to us arrived in Singapore in September 1969 in the midst of typhoon season. The local post office was flooded, and closed for days. When we received the very waterlogged package and opened it, the bark was a bit buckled, but the images of crocodiles and turtles as clear as can be. We still treasure that gift and the gesture of friendship across cultures it represents for us. Such fond memories of those days working with you in KL and Singapore....

I shared the link with some ToP colleagues this morning during some online work & the art knocked their socks off - one who is quite visual and also reacts viscerally said 'it takes my breath away" which coming from her really means something. For me it was also every artist's lovely face.
