Women artists working at Akay Koo’oila Women’s Art Centre, Aurukun, were inspired by the legacy of Wik Elder Akay Koo’oila (1923−2014), a dynamic painter, who was the oldest living person in Aurukun. The God’s eye project originated as a women’s activity initiative of Cape York Employment. The project developed as an opportunity for the women to meet, work and share stories while working on the piece each day.
