Description by Artist:     No description by artist found.


Notes from DaVic Gallery:   In an unpublished interview (Jackson 1983), Oonark described this print as well as another 1981 print Fish with Ulus, as “dream images.” By this she probably meant that they sprang from her imagination. As we have seen elsewhere “Big Woman“, the ulu (woman’s knife) was a frequent symbol in her work, as both a primary motif and as a secondary decorative element.
