This beautiful old kurrkurrka is still here. Like me every day coming to do my art, on the bus from my outstation Kwale Kwale. We are still here. During COVID times I started making owls on paper, and Old Laddie, my grandmother. My fingers got sore from sewing. My eyes got sore too, but I still do little bit of sewing because I really love my sewing. You cant stop me! I come everyday on the school bus, it picks up all the kids that go to Yipirinya school. My family and some other strong families started that school for all the little Aboriginal kids to have a place to learn safely in. My sister Dulcie and other strong families started
this art room to have a safe place to learn and help each other. Its good this place is here. We like working and we like company, seeing family. This art room is now full up with my owls, not just soft sculptures. They all watch us all day, the owls and soft sculptures. I feel really happy when I come here. And this kurrkurrka is really happy that I made it. I love being in the art room with everybody, I can' t sit at home and do nothing, too boring!
