ALMA NORMAN | ‘Brolga and Emu’ | Print Edition:4/40 My father was a clan"I grew up in Pormpuraaw. I am a Thaayorre women my totem is the emu and black duck. This shows I am a traditional owner of Pormpuraaw. This country belongs to me and I belong to it. My parents grew up. I learned bush skills from my aunty and uncle. I like going fishing. I like sewing and making clothing. I like painting and printing because it is different then sewing. I hope to learn how to make more art. I like to tell stories through my art." Alma
