Since the mid 1990’s Bruce Balwaldja Munuŋgurr has been the mainstay of the Buku Art Crew. This is the team of men who attend work daily and drive out bush to cut bark in the Wet Season and Ḻarrakitj (memorial poles) in the Dry. They custom make aluminium frames for each bark. They burn the barks with blow torches to dry and flatten them. They sand the barks once dry. They drive for hours to collect earth pigments from known sites. They carefully and expertly pack the millions of dollars worth of artwork which leaves the centre every year. They collect supplies from the nearby mining town. They drive out to remote homelands to deliver and pick up artists and artworks.
