Mick Daypurryun is an exceptional bark painter from Galiwinj'ku (Elcho Island) who was painting predominantly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This work is drawn from the height of his career and is painted in the strong geometric style for which he is recognised. The work refers to the Gandungu and Liyagawumirr clans and the separation between the yirritja and dhuwa moieties.
