One of the places I work had an exhibition in February of work from Arnhem Land. There must have been almost twenty artists showing and I fell in love with this one 'Stone Axe' by Roy Ashley. 
It is finally in its rightful place (above the mantel) after a brief stint on the kitchen table, awaiting one lazy new owner getting to the framers. Fitzroy Stretches (on Weston St in Brunswick) did a brillant job and I love it even more now its up and welcoming me home everytime I open the front door.Roy is a senior Wagalak man. A musican and artist, Roy is involved with the Walking with Spirits events and Darwin Festival and has been in documentaries and film clips. He is a high-ceremony man throughout the region.
