We live in two worlds. Bala ga lili is the overlapping of those worlds. The permeable frontier. The mixing of salt and fresh water. The balance of opposites is the creative centre of our collaboration. It is the challenge of possibility. Our work is about walking through life together. Accepting difference and conflict and resolution as part of life. That life and art are one. That making is a necessary and generative part of life – Bonhula Yunupingu and Damien Wright
