Lloyd Kwilla: Jumuwarnti (Many Waterholes)

Each offers an entirely fresh perspective on this classic theme and comprise works of impressive scale and intricate mapping as well as those of breathtaking minimalism.
Accompanying this important solo show is a select showing of new works by master Kimberley artist Freddie Timms.
