All jilamara (design) is originally drawn from the body painting which accompanied the pukumani (funeral) and
kulama (initiation/yam) All the artists living at Milikapiti are drawing on collective Tiwi memory, and the
individual expression and aesthetic qualities of each artist’s work is reflective of their personal interpretation of
traditional Tiwi design or jilamara.
