Snakes and Berries by Sarah Bin Hitam

"Snakes are the sacred rainbow serpents that made the rivers and water holes.
They travel upstream and downstream then rest in the water holes where it's cool and there's lots of food.
The snake berries are food for the snake when they are pinkish and reddish and are pretty but it's not good for people to eat" - Sarah Bin Hitam

Meet the artist: Sarah Bin Hitam

Sarah grew up down the Gibb River road at Mt Elizabeth Station. She was raised by step-parents Matthew Martin, a well-respected elder in the Kimberleys, an important Junba singer with an important cultural role up and down the Kimberleys, and Margaret Mungulu, an important painter of Mowanjum Arts.

Sarah Bin Hitam started work in the Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre art gallery in mid-2013. She spent time with her gudja (grandmother - Gabriella Dolby) and Bubba (Grandfather - Gordon Barunga) and Mugga (great-grandmother - Pudja Barunga) - each a respected artists - and learned here her painting practice.

In 2014 Sarah was very proud to contribute to the catalogue, and accompany her Bubba to the open event of 'In the Saddle on the Wall' - a nationally touring exhibition developed by the KAA in collaboration with ABC Open.

She participated in several workshops - ceramics, Fashion and Design workshop and print making.

Sarah has three children and she teaches them their culture and how to express this through painting and Junba.
