32. Too Many Yam


Regular price $1,575  

"This lady was really skinny, but then she ate lots and lots and lots of yam, and kangaroo and goanna. She ate them raw. She got bigger and bigger. And after that she was so greedy for yams, and every meat, that she took her dillybag and kept collecting more food. She’d go back home and cook on the fire, and she’d never share, and she got fat. Bawáliba is the djang (Dreaming) of my mother and my uncles. They are good spirits, they protect us and they recognise families. They are really tall- just like human beings, like us. They dance late at night and have a lot of hair." ~ Bulanjdjan Lucy Yarawanga
