“from totem designs used for body paint-up to sweeps of brilliant colour on canvas, the art of Mornington and Bentinck Islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria off the Queensland coast, has long and rich history.  Now this major new book – featuring the work of artists from Mornington Island Arts & Crafts – explores, for the first time, the history and visual culture of the region and its wide-ranging contemporary art.”
