Alick Tipoti Waru Thurul 2007
Linocut 660mm x 400mm $600
Story: Waru Thurul means turtle tracks. After the Solal season (mating turtle), many turtles are seen crawling up
beaches of the small islands throughout Zenadh Kes. In this print I have depicted the many threats to the life
cycle of the green back turtle throughout Zenadh-Kes. Humans and wild pigs, and goanna lizards dig up the
turtle nests to feed on the eggs. Fish and birds prey on the young hatchlings, struggling to survive on the
beach and in the sea.
