Joe has painted Mimih figures hunting Kunj(Kangaroo). According to the Kunwinjku people of West Arnhem Land, Mimihs were the original spirit beings and taught Aboriginal people many of the skills they needed to survive in the bush along with ceremonies, dance and song. These spirits continue to live in rocks, trees and caves but are rarely seen by humans. They are frequently depicted in the rock art of Arnhem Land as small, dynamic figures, often shown with a range of hunting tools such as mankole (spears), borndok (spear throwers), djerrh (dilly bags), karramalk (hafted stone axes) and kundjakkorl (fire sticks).
In this work Joe has used his unique style to depict two Mimih spirits hunting in a team, they are shown using traditional hunting implements to hunt kunj (kangaroo) and the animal painted in distinctive xray style showing the internal organs.
