Light from the Gaze
Syuru Village - part 4
Posted by Stephen (Canberra, Australia) on 11 May 2012 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Asmat artists
In Syuru Village, the people had set out stalls offering wood carvings and other artifacts such as drums, stone axes and shields. I bought a few small carvings and also took the opportunity to get photos of some of the wood crafters whose work was on display.
Here, you see the second of three of these portraits.
In a future series, I will focus on Asmat Art - when I visit the Agats Museum.

@Michael Fresh: Thanks, Michael. Not many visitors. The river is too shallow for most cruise ships and the boat I was on – the Orion - only calls in here every two or three years.
