About the Artwork

Wurarr-wurarr (oo-ard oo-ard) is the Kuku Yalanji (Guh-guh Yell-an-jee) name for Dragonfly. Like the Dragonfly, Kuku Yalanji people feel a deep connection to our Bubu (Buh-buh).We find harmony and a place of belonging when out on our Bubu (Traditional Lands). 

Kuku Yalanji Name: Walbul-walbul (Butterfly)
Language Group: Kuku Yalanji & Kuku Nyungkul
Traditional Lands: Julaymba (Daintree), Kuna (Shipton’s Flat), Buru (China Camp) - North Queensland, Australia.

Sheryl uses her Kuku Yalanji culture to inform her knowledge of traditional stories and life style and to use contemporary means to express her ideas. Sheryl’s artwork is represented in local, national and international collections.

Note
