About the Artwork

In this design the artist is portraying a family of dolphins in search for food. Dolphins frequently visit Forster/Tuncurry and are the "totem" or symbol of the Worimi people. The dark blue spots show the deep ocean, while the lighter dots are the ocean currents.

Tobwabba Art tells the story of Worimi people from the Great Lakes region of coastal NSW. Tobwabba Art is a living portrayal of the rich and diverse culture of the Worimi people that have been passed down through the generations. Tobwabba Art is distributed by OzAboriginal.
