Cockles on the Coorong (Kuti on the Kurrangk) SALA bringing people togetherCockles have been a staple food for Ngarrindjeri people for thousands of years. When my Nan was growing up on the mission, one of the things she liked doing was shuffling her feet in the sand to find kuti (cockles) to eat. This represents the waters of the Coorong (Kurrangk) flowing between the cockles (kuti). Prints are printed on ImageJet 360gsm matte canvas using pigment archival inks.
