Based on the traditional fire making implements of the Girringun rainforest Aboriginal people, Nephi has created a painting to evoke the spirit of the old people, drawing on the pattern making skills of his forebears.
Traditionally, the firesticks were made up of two parts, the Bagu (body) and Jiman (sticks). Bagu is normally made from the boogadilla (milky pine tree) and Jiman are made from mudja (wild guava tree). The bagu form was founded in the shape of a man. The spirit design was created with traditional clays and the ochre colours are magera yellow, jillan, black with wallaby blood and garba white.
