      • Thunduyingathi Bijarrb May Moodoonuthi - Bentinck Island, 2007

        Thunduyingathi Bijarrb May Moodoonuthi - Bentinck Island, 2007

        Est: $1,000 - $1,500

        May Moodoonuthi was born at Thundiyingathi around 1929. Her totemic name 'Bijarrb' means dugong. She has little knowledge of her parents or siblings and was married to Kaiadlit leader Darwin Moodoonuthi until his passing in 1983. The Lardil people in the Kaiadilt community had little exposure to fine art, or any comparable form of mark-making, prior to the 21st century. Traditional tools, objects, or bodies were scarcely painted, and the only recorded art that relates to their stories was a group of drawings, made at the request of ethnologist Norman B Tindale during his expedition to Bentinck Island in 1960, now housed in the South Australian Museum. In this early work May Moodoonuthi has depicted the sacred Kamarra Rocks from the bountiful reef-laden waters around Bentinck Island.
