This Month's cover :
Billy Missi, Kulba Yadail (Old Lyrics) (detail), 2006, linocut printed in black ink from one block; paper: Arches BFK 300gsm; matrix size: 84.5 x 47.5cm; edition size: 90. Publisher: Djumbunji Press KickArts Fine Art Printmaking. Image courtesy the artist and Djumbunji Press. In Missi’s words: ‘Kulba Yadail teaches us to read the stars, the moon and the sea. This image symbolises Kulba Yadail that describes our environment, our culture and also our identity.’ The central swaying band which runs top left to bottom right in this image, represents the complex Kulba Yadail knowledge system. Kulba Yadail is showing in Billi Missi’s solo solo exhibition Urabun Kai Buai (One Big Kin), a KickArts Contemporary Arts Cairns nationally touring exhibition currently on at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Townsville until 16 August.
