Selina Nadjowh – Djenj (Fish)

Selina Nadjowh is an accomplished artist, renowned for her meticulous compositions of her work, which spans weaving and painting. Her weaving contributions can be found in “Twined Together” (2006), the authoritative book on weaving in West Arnhem Land.

In the local fishing traditions, they cast their nets for a bountiful catch of various fish, ranging from the small to the large. Selina’s community enjoys fish from both freshwater and saltwater, with distinct names for the species they encounter, such as the “Namarnkol” (barramundi), an essential catch for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities.
