Nalkan is an area on Ŋaymil land and sea between the Gurrumuru and Cato Rivers that run into the Arnhem Bay. Within this area is another watercourse that leads up into a sacred area of a freshwater spring or Milŋurr with special qualities called Balawurru. Gudurrku or Brolga dance here. Djanda the sacred goanna swim in the lagoon created by the spring, their actions as they swim causing patterns to be made on the surface that is covered by the totemic water weed Darra. Others inhabit these waters, Warrukay or Murrukula the Barracuda, the power totem for the Ŋaymil. It spends most of its time in the salt waters. At certain times Warrukay will make its way up to Balawurru bringing the ‘contamination’ of muddied water with it. This has connotations of fertility. It is a place of fertility. Souls of Ŋaymil are both delivered to and from this point between works real and spiritual. As the sacred songs used in mortuary are cyclic, narrating the Ancestral Events of the original Creator Beings, so is the journey of the Yolŋu soul. This place is also shared with the Dhudi–Djapu clan. Warrukay is often depicted with its teeth bared as a warning to those trespassing Ŋalkan. For those doing so have to confront the ire of the Barracuda. A built in safeguard for the protection of Rom, Yolŋu law.’ © Gunybi Ganambarr. Courtesy of Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre

        Est: $4,000 - $6,000

        Gunybi Ganambarr is a Yolngu artist who lives and works at Gängän, near Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. He began his artistic career painting on bark and larrakitj, but has since extended his practice with an experimental and innovative use of reclaimed materials, which include wood, rubber, glass, steel, galvanised iron and aluminium. Under the tutelage of artists such as Gawirrin Gumana, and Yumutjin Wunungmurra from his mother’s Dhaḻwaŋu clan, Ganambarr has been able to assume ceremonial authority, and this has shaped the content he is able to depict in his work. (Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney) His first works of art were carved and painted Ironwood sculptures such as this innovative Wurran or cormorant (a totemic species of his mother clan). His work gained renown when he participated in the National Sculpture Prize at the NGA in 2005. He later won the Xstrata Coal Emerging Indigenous Artist Award at the Gallery of Modern Art at Queensland Art Gallery.

      •  Gunybi Ganambarr (1973-) Dhanbarr - Larrakitj c.2009
        Jun. 04, 2019

         Gunybi Ganambarr (1973-) Dhanbarr - Larrakitj c.2009

        Est: $4,000 - $6,000

        This sculpture is a novel and unique manifestation of a Larakitj - a ritual sculpture used as a bone container and erected as a memorial to a dead kinsman. Where formerly the bones of the deceased were deposited in hollow logs such as this, today they are used as the equivalent of headstones and may contain the personal effects of a deceased person. A further role for this cultural form is as a fine art object and an instructional tool for younger generations. Though it was not unusual in the past for ridges to be cut into the cylindrical form as bands at the top and bottom, the relief carving on this pole was unique in the history of Arnhem Land sculptural practice at the time this piece was created. The miny'tji, or sacred clan designs that adorn this work, belong to the artist's moter's clan, the Dhalwangu, and indicate the place it was made (Gangan), which is the origin of the Yirritja moiety. The diamond patterning represents the sacred freshwater contaminated by silt stirred from the bottom of sacred waterholes. (a more detailed explanation of the significance of the clan designs and the figurative elements in this work is provided in the accompanying documentation)
