Our Mother’s and Grandmother’s Country 2019

Amanda Jane Gabori and Dorothy Gabori

MiArt – Mornington Island Art

A lot of our artwork is about our Mum, Mirididingkingathi Juwarnda (Sally Gabori).  She was taken away from her Country but never lost her creative roots.  Her art is bright and light, just like the land she was born in, Mirdidingki, on the south side of Bentinck Island.  We paint her Country, where the big lake is.  Our Mother’s mum was born on Albinia Island close to Bentinck Island.  It’s a small little island with lots of shells, sand and rocks.
