Glen Farmer Illortamini (Tiwi people) 'Jongijongini (egret)' 2005–2006

Glen Farmer Illortamini has been carving wooden sculptures and linoblocks since 1994 and began to experiment with metal casting in 2005. He has made a number of cast animals, a popular theme being native birds including kookaburras and water fowl. It is evident that he makes the seamless transition from the Tiwi tradition of carving ironwood to metalwork.
