ARTIST: Rayarriwarrtharrbayingat Amy Loogatha, 1942, paints out of the Mornington Island Arts and Crafts Centre. “I remember getting a message that Aunty Sally Gabori was coming over to Bentinck to show us something. She brought one of her paintings and gave it to Ethel. It was beautiful. So we decided that we would follow Sally and paint too. I got a shock when I went to the Art Centre and saw all my sisters and Aunty’s painting. Now I paint with them.” Amy Loogatha.
ARTWORK DETAILS: Redbill and Lightning, 2007, synthetic polymer paint on linen, 970 x 1400 mm
ARTWORK STORY: Back in the dreamtime Redbill and Lightning had a fight and Lightning killed Redbill. There are exposed rocks on a saltpan near Mainbase Outstation, or Ninjilki, which are the remains of Redbill.
