Softcover. Etat : FINE! AUSTRALIANA Aboriginal Art - This book was inspired by the body paint worn by the Mornington Island dancers - Each dancer has a particular paint-up design which is of immense cultural significance - Previously, knowledge of these designs was transferrred orally, but with changing times, the elders realised that to put the designs in a book could be their gift to the younger generation - This book is the result.Shovel-nose sharks, dingoes, the morning star and rainbows feature in 'paint-up'; the age-old practice of decorating the bodies of dancers for the corroboree. Amanda Ahern became fascinated with the distinctive body-art designs while working on Mornington Island. With a background in anthropology and visual arts, she approached the local Elders to involve the community in documenting for posterity the dancers' body-paint designs and their meaning. The result is this first-ever publication to describe in drawings, photographs and stories the unique geography of the Top End and the rich traditions and legends of the Muyinda ancestors. The practice of 'paint-up' is an expression of culture rather than art. Each body-paint design is of profound cultural significance, identifying the wearer with country, sacred sites and ancestral groups. viii, 104 p. : ill., ports. ; 21 x 28 cm.
