ed./10This image depicts the good hunting spirits (at the top) with anthropomorphic spirit creatures known around the expansive and beautiful reefs in the Torres Strait. There are also evil creatures which make wave turbulence and overturn boats. The laser cut image on the Skateboard is a reproduction of the artist’s original linocut.The artist is one of a number of contemporary artists to embrace skatedecks as a medium. Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Australia’s 2009 Venice Biennale representative, Shaun Gladwell have all produced works relating to this street culture. A shape that is reminiscent of traditional masks and shields and the intricate patterning produced by the laser cutter that is seen in his linocuts, etchings and sculptures in metal, also attracted Nona to extend his repertoire into this new medium.
