Sally Gabori
Acrylic on linen 195 x 420cm POA
‘one of three largescale works produced within the first years of Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda, Sally Gabori’s career [in 2005/6]. These works conjure a large school of fish erupting from the bountiful reef-laden waters around Bentinck Island to feed on smaller fish or other marine creatures at the surface. As each fish breaks the water’s surface a wave radiates from the disruption and, for a few seconds, a circle, or hundreds of them, remain as the memory of the interaction between beings and place. These paintings allude to schools of mullet, queen fish, mackerel, or tuna, but never figuratively depict them. Instead, Gabori focused on the impact they and their activities had on the land.’
