Alick Tipoti Kowbu Maril - (Canoe War Spirits) 2007
Linocut 500x2000mm image, 730x2200mm paper $4500
In the Maluiligal language of Zenadh Kes, Kowbu Maril played a very important role in warfare. Warriors in a
canoe would call upon their spiritual ancestors for guidance throughout their journey. Each member of a canoe
would have their own spiritual figure to protect him. In this print the spiritual figures are hidden above the
warriors in the canoe. The rest of the spiritual movements can only be explained in Kala Lagaw Ya (the language
of the Western Torres Strait).
