Artist | JOSEPHINE BURAK


Josephine Burak is the daughter of respected custodian of traditional medical knowledge, Lydia Burak. Having gained her mother’s carving skills, Josephine often prepares her own pwoja (comb, painting tool) to shape it to her exact needs. At school, art was her favourite subject.

In Josephine’s works, the subject will often be the significant Kulama Ceremony, though her designs are also wonderfully reminiscent of astronomic star charts.
