Maranoa Shields 'Bark'

$0.00

JOANNE CURRIE NALINGU

Shield designs are a key visual symbol in Joanne’s practice. She recalls: “Back in the early ’90s, I went to the Queensland Museum to see images of the Maranoa shields from the Mitchell area where I was born. I was shown some photos, and I started thinking about those designs for my painting. I rearranged them a little — doing it my way.” These shields symbolise the resilience and strength of Joanne’s community and culture – a direct link to her ancestors.
