“I am a member of the ‘Wagadagam’ tribe and grew up in Bamaga. Most of my schooling was done in Bamaga, where one of my favourite subjects was art. This also became my hobby. After leaving school I stayed in Bamaga to gain experience in arts and crafts, specializing in painting, woodcarving and weaving. After leaving school I had a job as a cray fisherman, trocus diver and carpenter. I teamed up with Dennis Nona and joined the newly formed Mualgau Minnaral Artist group on Moa Island, where I learned to express my traditional culture through linocuts and limited edition prints. My culture and day-to-day living was passed down to me from generation to generation and I am proud to display some of this culture in my art and crafts.” subjects and themes Melanesian influence derived from traditional wood-carving experiences on Badu Island, He is inspired by coastal life and family traditions. collections Artbank Cairns Regional Gallery, Qld Australian National Gallery, Sydney exhibitions Group exhibitions 2001 Gelam Ngzu Kazi - Gelam My Son, Australian Museum, Sydney Aboriginal Art Prints Home	region Torres Strait state QLD community Thursday Island born 1961 active 2000 language Kal-lagaw-ya art centre Moalgau Minneral Artists Cooperative medium linocuts, works on paper, canvas and wood carved sculptures,basket weaving, limited edition prints
