This clothespin was clipped on a little snack my grandma packed me for my flight back home from France. She used to be a physics and chemistry teacher and her students wrote some of her frequently used expressions and quotes on clothespins that they clipped onto assignments, lab coats, etc. Apparently a lot of things were, according to her, essential! 😂

Sally Gabori
Sally Gabori (born Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda), an Australian aboriginal artist, is known for her colorful abstract paintings. Each painting is a translation of her experience of aboriginal culture.
As a youth, Sally gathered food from stone traps, helped to build and maintain stone walls, was an adept weaver of dilly bags and coolamons, and a well-known singer of Kaiadilt songs.
After contact with European Christian missionaries in the 1940s, Sally and her family – in fact, the entire population of Bentinck Island – were forcibly removed to a reservation on Mornington Island.
Sally only started to paint at the age of 81. In 2005, she and her husband were living at an Aged Person Hostel at Gununa. Sally was offered paints for the first time at a workshop established at the Mornington Island Centre. She had nothing to draw on but her memory of her country. Pictured: My Father’s Country.
“When Indigenous artist Melville Escott looked at Gabori’s first painting, he could identify ‘the river, sandbar, ripples the fish leave on the water… and the fish traps she used to look after.’ Her enthusiasm for painting grew until she was painting… every day the centre was open.” Pictured: Dibirdibi Country.
“Gabori created a body of work, which expressed sensations of life and cultural memory in diaspora.” Sally Gabori exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and represented Australia in the 2013 Venice Biennale. Pictured: Dibirdibi Country.
“Over the eight short years of her painting career, Sally produced over 2000 paintings, and almost all major institutions in Australia acquired her works. [Her] work has featured in over 28 solo exhibitions and been part of more than 100 group exhibitions.” Pictured: River at my Father’s Country.
“Her works have been described as abstract expressionism and gestural abstraction, but art theory was not an influence on her work… Many of her paintings represent the sea, sky and land of her country, but she is… not so much engaging with an audience as engaging with her country.” Pictured: Dingkarri.
