Shane Gibson 'Buuri (Swirl of the Girrbathi/Dugong"
Acrylic on Canvas
120 cm x 118 cm x 3 cm
When the Guugu Yimithirr men hunt for Girrbathi, we cannot see the animal in the muddy waters, so we would look out for Buuri swirls’ and listen
for when the Girrbathi come out of the water for air.
The circles represent the Buuri.
Exhibited in 'You & Me' exhibition @ UMI Arts Gallery, March 2025 - April 2025.
