Magnetic Bookmark_DYM975 – Experience Damien’s Mount Liebig Landscape
The Magnetic Bookmark_DYM975 features the detailed and meaningful artwork of Damien, an artist deeply connected to his homeland, Mount Liebig. His painting vividly captures the dry season in this region. Passed down from his great-grandmother and great-grandfather, this story reflects both the natural beauty and cultural traditions of the area.
In the artwork, women are shown gathering bush potatoes with their children. They are preparing for a traditional ceremony, represented by the red shapes at the bottom of the painting. These women sit together, talking and painting their bodies as they get ready for the inma ceremony. Nearby, a man (wati) sits with his spear (waru). He is walking through the dry spinifex, conducting controlled burns. These fires clear the land, allowing new fruits to grow. This process shows the deep connection between culture and the environment.
Symbols enrich the painting with meaning. Sun-like shapes represent the women’s body paint. Red and white lines depict the dry creek bed, while cracks in the earth reflect the arid landscape. Dried rockholes (tjukula) and sandhills (tali) appear nearby, capturing the terrain’s harsh conditions.
Crafted in collaboration with Better World Arts, the Magnetic Bookmark_DYM975 blends functionality and culture. It holds your place in any book securely, while also sharing the story of Damien’s homeland. Made in Australia, this bookmark offers a glimpse into the beauty and resilience of Mount Liebig.
With the Magnetic Bookmark_DYM975, you experience art, storytelling, and culture every time you turn the page.
