On the walls of sandstone caves in central Queensland, millennia-old outlines of hands, weapons and tools emerge from a haze of ochre blown from the mouth. In As I remember it (H2) 2022 artist d Harding, with their cousin Hayley Matthew, have used a similar technique, taking a gami or wooden digging stick (primarily used for harvesting root vegetables) as a stencil.
