Alick Tipoti Koedal Kazil Garr Yatharmik 2006
Linocut 360x2200mm image, 540x2400mm paper $4500
The title translates to 'crocodile protecting its young'. Garr Yatharmik is an ancient yet important phrase in my
language. It literally means 'tying it close to the body', in other words, to protect. As people of Zenadh Kes, we
were instructed and taught the ways of our culture by our forefathers. Who were in turn instructed by their
forefathers. I have chosen the Koedal (crocodile) because it is a totem from the dinosaur age, so it represents
the ancient laws of my forefathers.
