About this Print:
Long Neck Turtle: The Long-neck Turtle is not only an important part of the Yidinji People’s traditional food sources, but a deeply significant cultural being. Known for its cheeky spirit and humble nature, the turtle carries quiet strength. Protective and inquisitive, it watches closely, moving gently yet with purpose.
Long-neck Turtles are often seen gathering together, guardians of the waterways. Through their awareness and presence, they warn other creatures of what is approaching, protecting the balance of life within the water. In this role, the turtle represents community, vigilance, and the power of collective care, a reminder that even the most unassuming beings play a vital role in safeguarding Country.
Each print is hand-pulled using Paul’s contemporary intaglio and layering techniques, blending cultural knowledge with modern printmaking. The result is a unique meeting of old and new: ancient stories carried forward through contemporary expression.
This piece is available in a small series of colour variations, created in dedicated print runs. Each run carries its own mood and character, shaped by Paul’s hands and the natural qualities of the ink.
Limited & Never Repeated:
Due to Paul’s distinctive printmaking style, no two prints are exactly the same. Each plate is hand-brushed individually, meaning the colours and textures vary from print to print. Because the plates are worked one at a time, the registration is often slightly offset, creating subtle shifts in alignment. These variations are intentional and are part of Paul’s process, making every print a unique original in its own right.
Please Note:
Because each print is individually made, the artwork you receive may vary slightly in colour or tone from the image shown. This variation is intentional and part of the authenticity of Paul’s handcrafted process — no two prints are ever exactly alike.
Special Offer:
These prints are $30 each, or 4 for $100 (discount applied automatically at checkout).
Plus, enjoy free shipping on orders over $100, making it even easier to collect a full colour set.
