An exhibition by Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and artists James Billy, Shirley Yumala Collins, Donna Ives, Ian Kaddy, Gail Mabo, Susan Nampitjin Peters and Aicey Zaro

Murris In Ink is a collective of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island printmakers who live and work in the Townsville region.

The artists began printmaking workshops at Umbrella Studio in 2008 and gained recognition for their exhibits at the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair. Their works are now held in collections across the nation.

This exhibition celebrates the symbiotic themes of food and water; Ngapa meaning water in Walmajarri
language from the Kimberley; Kai Kai a universal term in the Torres Strait community for food.

In preparation for this exhibition seven Indigenous artists collaborated with master printer Ron McBurnie.

The remarkable quality of the prints reflects their commitment to excellence and showcases exceptional aesthetic and carving skills, knowledge and celebration of stories and a passion for world-class printmaking.
