Mixed Media on Canvas

- 90 x 90cm

Yondee (Shane Hansen) is a Noongar man from Western Australia. He was born in 1964 in Dumbleyung, 270 km south of Perth. The name Dumbleyung is derived from the Aboriginal word 'Dambeling' meaning large lake and refers to the lake nearby which is the largest in southwest WA. Yondee remembers this lake as a child and being told stories of the Wagal (rainbow snake).


He was told about hunting and shown sand drawings by his father. Around the age of ten, he would travel and visit his aunties on the Swan River and would collect paper bark to help them in their artwork. It was here that he started to learn about art from his older relatives who are known for their paintings on paper bark.
He is an experienced and accomplished artist who is developing a way of working with sand and ochres to depict the stories and legends of his people. He also paints detailed figurative works based on mission life, hunting, and animals. His works are abstract in their presentation but narrative in their content. He wishes to continue the stories of his grandfather. He learned these stories and images as ground paintings, so he feels the translation of them to sand paintings does them justice and brings them to new audiences.


Talking about his art practice today, Yondee Shane Hansen says: “I make sand paintings, collecting sand from the creeks. You have to wash it to get the salt out, but the sand is different out of the creeks, it's smoother, and it’s good to use. When I make sand paintings using black and white, or bold colors, it gives a simple strong message.”

Symbols in Aboriginal sand art are significant features of the continuous depiction of communication between the Great Spirits of the ancestors and humans. They tell the story of the “Dreamtime” myth, which signifies the creation of the Aboriginals as well as their history and culture.

Meanings of Symbols in Aboriginal sand art

Aboriginal art symbols are significant because they are used to mark a sacred spot, the location of a waterhole, the direction to a certain place, or the illustration of Dreamtime stories. Aboriginal people travel often to distant lands. Events that occurred during these travels and rituals performed were recorded in sand and body paintings, thus, preserving the traditional Aboriginal art and culture. There are several symbols seen in these paintings. Here are some examples with their corresponding meanings:

• Concentric circles. These are very common symbols in Aboriginal sand art because the circles depict the Dreamtime stories. However, the symbols are quite hard to understand. A deeper knowledge of the Dreamtime stories will help in deciphering the meaning of these concentric circles. This should not be confused with circles that represent a campfire or mark a certain destination.

• U-Shapes. These represent a place where the Aboriginal people meet or a gathering around a campsite.

• Spears and digging sticks. These are indications of gender roles. Spears represent Aboriginal men while digging sticks represent the women gathering food.

• Lines and waves. They are either pointed upward or used to connect two circles. Lines indicated upward can either represent an upcoming rain or a fire rising upward. Waves can either mean a body of water or a snake.

• These symbols can be paw prints or kangaroo prints. When used in sand art, they depict a spot where animals are domesticated.

Symbols used in contemporary sand painting

This traditional form of iconography is preserved so that the new generation will appreciate Australian Aboriginal culture. Sand painting is now done using acrylic paint, thus ensuring that the symbols are permanently seen or showcased. Some artists engraved this traditional art form in their canvases, still incorporating the true meaning of this sacred art form. After all, symbols in Aboriginal sand art are not mere art forms but are divine. They tell more than a map or a destination but a story of creation and the treasured history of the Aboriginal people.

Whish it was brighter
Color: White
It is ok, but I thought it would illuminate better. It provided some light right underneath, but it does not open up more lighting around. It barely expends to the whole length of the table.

My favorite pimple patches
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
I've tried the competitor Mighty Patches and a couple other pimple patches. These are my favorite because they stay on the best and do the best job of healing/absorbing. The Microcrystal Spot Cover actually hurts a little when you put it on from the little spikes... but I love that because I feel like it's actually doing something! I wish they were a little more affordable.

Expensive but effective
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
This isn’t a miracle cure for acne, but it has proven beneficial for reducing redness and shortening healing time, in part because of how it works and also just as a barrier to prevent picking. Product does what the packaging says it will do. These dots are impressively thin. As the fluid is drawn into the patch, it creates a more pronounced white bump, but it is still thinner than typical extra thin hydrocolloid dressings. If you’re planning to walk around and be seen while wearing acne patches, these are a great option, even if they are expensive. If you’re going to be primarily wearing patches while you sleep and are at a place in your life where you just don’t care how it looks as long as it works, shop around and cut a patch to size from a large (4”x4” or so) hydrocolloid dressing, and it will do the job just as well.

Worked well, comfortable.
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
These patches adhere fairly well to my chin, over a very large cystic pimple. I admit, the microneedle patches I used before caving and picking were the Kill brand, not Rael. I figured I would buy both on the off chance I ised all the Kill stickers (whose price tag is honestly ridiculous). After the zit popped though, I found this brand to be preferrable to my usual HERO staple for a number of reasons: 1) While the hero patches are bigger and thicker, this brand was more comfortable to wear long term. As I was treating during my work day, I felt more confident with these thin, flexible sheets than with other brands. They're thinner, but seem to work just as well and are more comfortable. 2) They're practically invisible on my face. Now, it's not really possible to make these things disappear entirely. Because they're thinner, they do wrinkle some when I speak and tend to stretch on the skin. I will say that this recurring zit does live on my chin, so there may be more movement and wear as a result. 3) I feel less inclined to change them early. Because they wear so well, this brand was much less noticable on my face. I couldn't feel it and in fact, forgot it was there until I took a bathroom break. That made it easier to focus on getting work done rather than worrying about how it felt or looked. I did wear a tiny bit of concealer over these and no one seemed to notice. Overall, pretty good product.

Magic Spots make your acne..DISAPPEAR!
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
I like this product. I was nervous cause I am allergic to everything. However I got an ingrown pimple right under my nose. It hurt like a mother. So I bought these in hopes it would eat it off my face and I was pleasantly surprised. I put the one that has the crystals under my nose overnight. This morning it ate all the sebum around it and left a weak white head. When I removed the white head, I had a pretty decent hole under my nose. I put a dot from the pink box on it after disinfecting it and drying it off in hopes it will keep it protected while I wear a mask at work. I also had one in pink box on the side of my face in hopes of helping a ragged acne that I had scratched of the scab in my sleep the night before. So it was pretty rough skin. I slapped the dot from the pink box over night as well and my skin is soft. Its still a little red from where it was but its not raised and it doesn't hurt. These are pretty awesome. The adhesion sticks all night did not move ONCE. It was almost like removing a bandaid. They stretch well and fit over most acne spots and they are thick enough to not tear easy and hold all the gross that comes out of your face. I had no real expectations of the product because I wasn't sure how this face magic worked but it definitely does the trick when you have painful ingrown and just stubborn acne spots.
