About Shane 

Shane Hansen, known as Yondee, is a Noongar man from Western Australia and currently residing in Perth. Born in 1964 in Dumbleyung, located approximately 270 km south of Perth, he has a profound connection to the Aboriginal term 'Dambeling,' denoting a large lake near his birthplace, the largest in southwest WA, and the stories associated with it, particularly those about the Wagal (rainbow snake), which he vividly recalls from his childhood visits.

Hansen's upbringing was infused with cultural teachings from his father, encompassing hunting techniques and visual artistry exemplified through sand drawings. At the age of around 10, his interactions with his aunties along the Swan River exposed him to the practice of gathering paper bark for their artistic endeavors, initiating his artistic tutelage under older relatives renowned for their paper bark paintings.

An adept and accomplished artist, Hansen is pioneering a distinctive approach involving sand and ochres to portray his people's ancestral narratives and legends. His repertoire also includes meticulously crafted figurative works reflecting aspects of mission life, hunting, and fauna. While his artistic presentations are abstract, they possess a distinct narrative essence. Hansen's creative pursuits are driven by a desire to preserve the traditions imparted by his grandfather, who transmitted stories and imagery through ground paintings. Hansen perceives the transition of these portrayals into sand paintings as a means of doing justice to their significance while introducing them to novel audiences.

About the artwork

Gnamma holes were crucial, naturally formed water tanks used by the Noongar Aboriginal people in the Swan River region and beyond for thousands of years, capturing rainwater runoff into rocky cavities to serve as a vital, protected water source. These holes were often covered to prevent evaporation and to provide escape routes for animals that fell in. Noongar artist Yondee Shane Hansen's paintings, which depict the stories of the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River), feature gnamma holes as essential elements of the landscape and culture.  

Yondee Shane Hansen's painting of the traditional Waterhole Dreaming is a powerful reminder of the natural beauty that surrounds us. The Gnamma Holes, which provide life-sustaining water to nearby animals, are a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the natural world. Hansen's use of sand and bold colors in his art reflects his passion for conveying a simple yet impactful message. His dedication to his craft inspires all who seek to create beauty and meaning.

Just what I was looking for!!
So far,so good. It s the first time I have been trying this product. I really like it. I was looking for something to help me for dryness due to the cold weather and excess of hand washing because of my job. I work in a microbiology lab, so I am costantly washing my hands and they tent to get dry with the specific soap we have to use. I like to feel my hands humected but not sticky. I tried several brands but never got quite convinced to by a brand again because I as not satisfied at all. This hand cream is ligher compared to many others but really protects and leaves your hands soft. You use it once or twice a day and they are still soft.

Miracle cream!
This cream is unbelievable. goes in instantly, makes hands soft after one application and creates a barrier to protect your hands against cold and water. I live in VT and have tried numerous "extreme" hand creams that are heavy and greasy and useless~ this one is the best. I also like that it is fragrance-free except for that mild "Avene" spring water smell. I have two tubes, one for my night table and one next to the kitchen sink. I am 47 and have tried numerous face and body products`` you could say I used to be a "junkie" :) but I always come back to Avene. I have extremely sensitive skin and Avene products are a life saver.

My 75 year old hands appear softer and younger!
Avene Cicalfate Restorative Hand cream leaves my hands feeling very soft! A little goes a long way, I have had mine for a year. Soon I will be purchasing another tube. Yes, it is a little pricey for a hand cream, but does the job better then any other product I have used on my hands. Highly recommend this hand cream if you have dry, sensitive skin. It also has no added fragrance which I really appreciate!
