Tote Bag | Damien Marks Pin Badge While the original was designedSet in the dry season on Damiens Country at Mount Liebig, this work reflects stories from his great grandparents. Women and children gather bush potatoes (red forms at the base) as they prepare for inma. A lone wati with his waru carries out cool burns, clearing spinifex so new fruits can grow. Sun like motifs mark womens body painting. A red and white dry creek threads cracked earth and claypans, past dried rockholes (tjukula) and sweeping sandhills
