Sikue was a sorcerer and healer from Buka, previously part of the Solomon Islands, now a part of Papunya New
Guinea. He lived in a Suai village tribal area and was renowned as a very powerful being, capable of causing
great fear among villagers because of the magic he could perform.

The State I version of this print won the prestigious 2004 Angel Orensanz International Art Award in New York
USA. The artist would like to acknowledge Mr Alex Dawia as storyteller for Sikue.
