Duru Wulala

These pieces tell the story of an Andu (young child) and their Ngadi (grandfather) looking up to the Duru Wulala (night sky), pointing at all of the constellations telling each other what they can see.

Knowledge of the skys is a living part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and continues to evolve.

Through story, song and dance knowledge to read the intricate map of the sky and landscape is transferred between generations.

Artists Bio

Hello I am Milly Mainhardt, a Proud Gunggari Woman living and creating Contemporary Indigenous artworks on Gumbaynggirr Land. 
 
My works are inspired by the surrounding nature of our beautiful little beach town here in Coffs Harbour, by stories I’ve been told or stories that I feel need to be told. 

 My works are vibrant, colourful and aim to make the viewer get up close and see all of the details.
