Kathleen Korda grew up at the Daly River mission before moving to Peppimenarti in the 1960’s. Her mother & grandmother taught her to weave baskets, string bags and fishnets. Passing on knowledge learnt from their mother before them. This weaving knowledge informs Kathleen’s artistic practice. This painting represents traditional body painting designs applied to male and female torsos for ceremonial dance. The dots are referred to as durrmu - which also mean painting. Kathleen expresses the essence of Durrmu in imaginative shapes, transforming traditional lines and dotted markings into unique forms.
