Description
“Kerr Kerr is a medicinal plant used to cure sick babies. The juniper harvested at the top of the mountains of the island of Badu is pressed and the juice thus extracted is collected in a shell container (Alup). The ointment is applied to the skin of babies weakened by colds or suffering from skin diseases (Zurr), usually in September-October. This treatment was once practiced in the western islands of the Torres Strait and was transmitted to me by an elder, James Eseli. If applied once a day for a few days, the baby recovers.

My ancestors often come to see me in dreams and inspire me with a new technical approach. In this work, the application of this treatment and the back of the baby are condensed into a single image. The swirling patterns (Minnor) at the bottom represent the gesture accomplished to make the ointment penetrate, while the diamond patterns at the top evoke the disease on the skin of babies. The central area shows the action of the disease moving under the skin.” (Dennis Nona)

Australia  • 1973

Presentation

Dennis Nona was born in 1973 on the Badu Island. He comes from the Torres Strait, from one of the two ?indigenous? communities in Australia (in the Northern part of the continent).

He is a print artist and a sculptor and, through his art, he tells the legends of his people. He is considered to be one of the best representatives of Australian printmaking. His favorite techniques are the linocut and the aquatint; he uses these techniques because he thinks the texture of the paper, the fabrication techniques and the ink and pigments give strength to the universe he creates.

Dennis Nona reinterprets the patterns of the traditional mask drawings that evoke the legends of the Torres Strait and of Papua New Guinea, so his artworks are veritable ?chanson de gestes?.

His works are unique combinations of traditional totemic representations that often have marine subjects (turtles, fish, lobsters), of invented shapes and characters that seem to come from Hieronymus Bosch?s paintings, and subtle arabesques as a background for these narratives.

Beyond its visual dimesion, the graphic work of Dennis Nona is a ?defense and illustration? of the culture of his native region.
