Yondee Shane Hansen is a distinguished Noongar artist, born in 1964 in Dumbleyung, located 270 kilometres south of Perth in the southwestern region of Western Australia. He acquired foundational knowledge from his father, who taught him about hunting and the creation of sand drawings. Additionally, visits to his aunties along the Swan River provided him with opportunities to collect paper bark, which supported their artistic endeavours. These early experiences formed the basis of his artistic education, as older relatives, celebrated for their paper bark paintings, served as his initial instructors.

In reference to his contemporary artistic practice, Yondee Shane Hansen stated, "I create sand paintings by collecting sand from the creeks. After being meticulously washed to remove salt, the sand exhibits a smoother texture. Following multiple washes and sieving, it becomes suitable for artistic application when mixed with paint. My paintings' combination of black and white sand conveys a simple yet powerful message."

As a seasoned artist, Yondee Shane Hansen has refined techniques to utilize sand and ochres to depict the narratives and legends of his people. In addition to these traditional representations, he produces detailed figurative works that address themes such as mission life, hunting, and animals. Despite their abstract nature, his works retain a narrative essence. Yondee has drawn upon the knowledge of ground paintings imparted by his grandfather during his childhood and aspires to preserve and elevate these art forms. He holds that translating these concepts into sand paintings not only honours their origins but also extends their reach to new audiences. His bush name, Yondee, translates to Black Goanna.

Furthermore, Yondee Shane Hansen has collaborated with the Campfire group of Aboriginal artists in Brisbane and has exhibited his artwork in various galleries across Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, and internationally in countries such as the United States, Czech Republic, and Ireland.

About the Painting

Recent works by Whadjuk Ballardong artist Yondee Shane Hansen are focused on traditional songlines and walking paths associated with the Derbarl Yerrigan, commonly known as the Swan River, situated on the coastal plains surrounding Perth. His paintings depict the interconnected locations of the Swan River and the substantial coastal lakes, extending from Joondalup and urban Perth to the Beeliar Wetlands.

The rivers within the Perth region are intricately woven into the Dreaming narratives of the local Noongar Aboriginal community. Mr. Hansen articulates that the river serves as a vital connection between the freshwater inhabitants of the inland and the saltwater communities along the coast. The Dingo Dreaming track integrates these groups and adheres to the river's natural contours. The Wargyl, a water spirit significant to this Country, is referenced in Mr. Hansen's assertion of "swimming with the Wargyl" along the river’s course. Additionally, community Elders have indicated that this area is associated with the freshwater turtle, which holds traditional medicinal importance.

It should be noted that the term Derbarl Yerrigan does not directly translate as Swan River; the river is referred to as Narlak (Swan) Beeliar (River). Instead, Derbarl Yerrigan is often interpreted to signify freshwater or brackish water Turtle Dreaming along the river. Mr. Hansen's artwork further includes representations of Gnamma holes, where Aboriginal peoples historically harvested water runoff from rock surfaces, collecting it in small wells that were subsequently covered and safeguarded.

excellent quality, Good Support
I got this on sale for $67. The process to assemble it was very straightforward and used an Allen wrench. It was rated as the best item in its category and had five stars. I wouldn't consider it a gaming chair, Although it tries to be one. It feels more like an office chair that was glam up to be a gaming chair. But it does an excellent job at supporting a tall large individual, Excellent Support, Good posture. Worth every penny, But not in the same category as a typical gaming chair. Lack some of the bells and whistles had a typical gaming chair would have, But every bit the money I paid for it. If you want something nicer then you need to buy like a $200+ Gaming chair with the bells and whistles.

Very comfortable with good lower-back support
Most comfortable, well made, easy assembly office-gaming chair (very pleased)! *I suggest, HOLD-OFF popping the seat onto the upper-cylinder until AFTER assembling the back-rest onto the seat/arm-seat with back-rest as a unit...can then be popped onto the upper gas-cylinder(Much more stable than fighting with chair freely rolling and turning) while attempting to aligning the holes assembling the back-rest. Afterwards the seat with back-rest assembled can easily be popped onto to the upper-end of the gas-cylinder and we are good to go! * do pay attention to using the correct bubble-packed bolts for each assembly, as directed * all the holes align -up very precisely... so if screwing in the bolt(s) and after a couple-turns it gets hard-to-turn, we are 'cross-threading the bolt into the threaded hole...so back-out and realign the bolt as so it threads in very easy. * the bubble-pack of bolts are clearly labeled so as we easily know which ones go where. *0ne bubble-packet even includes a spare group just in case we lost one (like out in the grass-lawn)? * Included a T-handle alien-head wrench (all needed for total assembly) very nice for having around if any re-tightening needed. all speaks Quality! >>> Been using about a month now...And I REALLY like this office gaming chair _ very comfortable cushioned well and excellent lower-back support _ the faux-leather seems to be more thick and durable and stitching is NOT ripping-out (as my previous & more expensive chair had done with it's paper-thin faux leather) _ easy assembled chair seems very sturdy and solid, (yet light weight), in moving around, (not some wobbly contraption as my previous more expensive chair). _ a strong Five-Star rating!

nice chair for the money
This is a great chair for those not wanting to spend a lot of money and well built and sturdy. I don't do gaming so I'm looking at it as a computer chair so that's what my review will focus on. I had no trouble putting it together as it has a nice instruction book and not a one page print out like most China made products. Also the enclosed Allan wrench with a handle was someone's smart idea. It looks good (I also bought it since it was red) it's comfortable and fit's my needs but I can't comment on the durability factor as I have it for just a few days but I have no complaints for the price I paid at this time.

I Recommend!
very comfortable chair ive had it for a while now, it starts to get a faint creaking noise, but nothing unbearable. the cushions are firm yet comfortable at the same time. its not too big of a chair, fits great in my room. for the price , its pretty good quality, same could be said for its reclining, depending on how you set the tension of the reclining, the chair can be reclined with ease, or tight. this chair was easy to use and to set up. I very much recommend.
