DAMIEN AND YILPI MARKS MEDIUM HANDMADE PAPER GIFT BAG - BETTER WORLD ARTS

This is a teaching painting, describing a dry season in Mount Liebig, in the Northern Territory. Women & children collect bush potatoes & prepare for inma (ceremony). A man, wati, sits down with his waru (spear). Controlled burnings are taking place as the spinifex is dry, and this means fruits can grow.

This paper gift bag is eco-friendly, being made from cotton scraps scoured from the garment industry. No wood, or toxic chemicals are used in production. One tonne of handmade paper like this saves an estimated 277 eucalyptus trees.
