Those gas pipe signs they’re really for protest. Fracking. My aim is not to cover the words too, leave some of the words. If I cover the whole lot, they wouldn’t know what it is. 

That’s my aim, that’s for fracking. It not only happens here, it happens in Canada too. Those Indigenous people they fight it too, the fracking. 

 

Clifford Thompson Japaljarri was brought up in Alekarenge. His mother’s country is Karlu Karlu and his father’s country is Jarrah Jarrah. Clifford is a key member of the Tennant Creek Brio artist collective. Clifford works predominantly with found objects, ceramics, Masonite board, and canvas, upon which he experiments with mesmerising spatial patterning.
