Kuninjku (Eastern Kunwinjku) people
'Lorrkon' 2004
Purchased 2005
Lorrkon or hollow log cofﬁns are central to the funeral ceremony practiced by the Kuninjku people of Western Arnhem Land. The hollow logs, which housed the ochred bones of the deceased person, were painted with clan designs and placed into the ground where they were left to decay naturally. Mawurndjul's work makes reference to a major secret and sacred ceremony called a Mardayin. The meaning of his work is restricted and not for public knowledge.
The thin and delicate rarrk (crosshatching) done by Mawurndjul is amazingly and uniformly maintained across the whole length of a hollow log. His hollow logs reverberate with the power of ancestral beings who inhabit Western Arnhem Land and demonstrate Mawurndjul's masterful and dynamic arrangement of rarrk.
