Tiwi Shima, meaning Island in Japanese, celebrates the combined creative printmaking talents of artists across the Tiwi Islands.
For the first time, artists from all three art centres have worked exclusively in water-based Japanese-style woodcut prints, suisei moku hanga, and have collaborated with Northern Editions’ printmaker Jacqueline F Gribbin to achieve remarkable new work.
The Tiwi tradition of wood carving has translated seamlessly into this unique style of printmaking.
The resulting prints from Munupi Arts and Crafts, Tiwi Design and Jilamara Arts and Craft provides a fresh and exciting addition to an already impressive printmaking history on the Tiwi Islands which began in the 1960s.
