Bill Harney Gilling Gilling 2008
Acrylic on Galacia linen 540 x 570mm $650
Real old lady Gilling Gilling called Jabarrka up on top of high mountain and she's got Igilii headdress like a big
wave. Forehead band with little black stripe in middle and big ears to listen to sound. Elbow down and head up.
She's been teaching the young ones the Bundimi dance. The Gilling Gilling are all at Victoria River in
Wardaman country in the caves. They still live in the caves today and they come out at night time and make a
lot of noise. They're downstream from the pub and bridge at Victoria River. There's lots of white paint on the
walls of those caves and in the Creation time they're dancing and doing all sorts of tricks.
