Jimmy Thaiday’s ceramics draw heavily from his cultural heritage, stories of warfare and European colonisation of the Torres Strait Islands passed down through generations. Using a combination of stoneware and resin, Thaiday recreates traditional weapons of battle such as the powerful Gabagaba and Seuriseuri (multiple-headed club). His intricately crafted club handles feature traditional markings, decorated with skulls and feathers, creating a visual documentation and strengthening of traditional knowledge and story-telling.
