About the Item
Limited edition print no. 2/10
Torres Strait Island artist David Bosun is from the tribe of Wug on Moa Island and grew up in a very sensitive cultural environment. From the age of four he practised traditional dancing and singing. He first became interested in art in grade six after participating in an art class at school.
From 1993 to 1995 Bosun studied for an Associate Diploma in Communications at James Cook University. Although he never stopped drawing, he was never serious about it as his studies took up most of his time. The Cultural studies component of his course inspired him to take up art again.
In 1996 he did a Visual Arts course at the Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE. In 1997 when he returned to Moa Island he met up with his childhood friend Dennis Nona and realised that the career he had been looking for was in fact what had always got him into trouble at school.
Bosun believes that both the future generations in the Torres Strait as well as the rest of the world need to be educated about the rich cultural heritage and distinctiveness of Torres Strait culture. He is striving to record and illustrate his ancestral beliefs and traditions through the visual and performing arts.
Bosun has also been a member of the Royal Australian Army Reserve; he is a Councillor and Project Officer with Kubin Community Council and a founding member of the Mualgau Minneral Art group of Moa Island.
