Sting in the Tail is a selection of framed recent works on paper by over 20 Far North Queensland contemporary artists, produced as part of an initial series of workshops through Djumbunji Press in the first half of 2009. Artists worked to create intaglio plates with Djumbunji Press printmaker Dian Darmansjah during workshops that were conducted both in the Cairns based studio and in the field at the Indigenous community of Yarrabah and at the Weipa Arts Hub.
This collection of multi-coloured etchings explores the artists’ connection to the environment and their history within it. Sting in the Tail reflects the great diversity of forms of expression that is present in the vibrant Tropical North Queensland arts community.
