Jimmy picks up second Telstra art award

Artist Jimmy John Thaiday has - for the second time - won this year’s Telstra

Multimedia Award for Just

Beneath the Surface 2023

The work was a five minute video depicting the artist’s connection to the ocean, the waves and the wind, which explores the way the ocean creates cycles of life, death and rebirth.

“I am exploring the way the ocean creates cycles of life, death, and rebirth,” he said on his entry.

“If we resist these forces, life can be tough, and we can suffer.

“When we let go, then we can let nature take its course, and things will be in balance.”

Judges said the video was “ethereal and emotive”.

“The imagery of Jimmy John Thaiday being caught and strangled by the ghost nets is haunting,” they said.

“The artist’s work is a testament to our responsibility in protecting Country, the ocean and all living things, because without our natural resources there is no human life.

“The viewer is drawn to a series of imagery that reveals just how vulnerable island life is today.

“We need to ensure that it is preserved and maintained for future generations.”

This role will call for an individual who has time management skills, organisational skills, effective verbal, written and listening communication skills and basic administration skills.

As staff housing is not available, intending applicants must have the ability to live on Badu Island and we encourage locals to apply.

The successful applicant will be placed on a three-month probation period. Salary will be in the range of Level 1 – Year 1 to Level 3 of the Clerks Private Sector Award [1 July 2023] subject to relevant experience.
