ABBEY’S BOOKSELLER PICK —— Photographer Sally Mayman and artist Dale Kentwell’s project evolved from them attending a Save the Kimberley event, opposing a proposal to build a giant gas hub. Realising this would be calamitous for both the environment and the local population, both artists felt a need to connect and give voice to the Indigenous community. This book allows a cross-section of the community to articulate their personal connection to the land and is captured in the warm sepia tones of Mayman’s photos and Kentwell’s paintings, illustrating each person in their particular environment. Greg Waldron

——

Seeing Saltwater Country - an art collaboration between photographer Sally Mayman, painter Dale Kentwell and the people of the Dampier Peninsula in Australia's north-west. Sally and Dale, based in Sydney, were invited to the Dampier Peninsula by Bardi Nyul Nyul man Albert Wiggan.

There they met many locals of the region's remote Aboriginal communities and collaborated with them on a series of portraits in landscapes that depict remote community life and celebrate the beauty of a place unlike any other.

Sally's sepia photographs sit alongside Dale's colourful paintings, both created with direction from each collaborator and with their accompanying handwritten message. At the heart of these portraits is a strong and enduring connection to country.
