Joshua is a Kwini Balangarri man and has lived in Kalumburu all of his life. Joshua has started painting later in life, but when he was young would watch the old people paint and learn from them. Joshua paints Wanjinas (Rain Maker spirit ancestors) and Kira Kiro (Kwini spiritual figures). The stories he paints brings back memories from when he was small and he would visit the rock art from around Kalumburu. Joshua says “painting brings luck in life.” |
