Messages in Art

Come on a beautiful, visual journey with Trevor Fourmile as he explains the important messages in the art of his Yidinji culture by studying the artwork of his poem, The Colour Ochre Warrior. Trevor's passion for his culture shines through in his writing and his artwork as he encourages others to learn more about the meaning and colour of Yidinji life, past and present.

Trevor Fourmile is from the Yidinji people of the Cairns area of Far North Queensland. His Yidinji name is Bumi which means “lightning flash”. Trevor works as a Community Engagement Officer at Hymba Yumba Independent School in Brisbane and loves teaching the younger generation his culture through traditional dancing, storytelling and writing children's books.
