[2] Ganambarr is considered the founder of the "Found" movement in northeast Arnhem Land, in which artists use recycled materials, onto which are etched sacred designs more commonly painted on eucalyptus bark.
[2] His homeland being Yangunbi, an area on the Western shore of Melville Bay, close to where the Giddy River meets the Arafura Sea.
[2] Ganambarr's upbringing was highlighted by his cultural experience in the art center in Yirrkala; it provides an economy that is inherited by everyone who lives in Arnhem Land.
Ganambarr explained that any average individual without previous artistic and creative experience can come in with small prints that hold no value, that are now hanging in well-renowned museums around the world.
[2] He has combined that experience with a startling innovative flair to produce groundbreaking sacred art that is at once novel and still entirely consistent with Yolgnu Madayin law.
[11] He started his career painting with natural pigments on eucalyptus bark and larrakitj, however through personal investigation and practice would begin to work with reclaimed materials, such as glass, rubber, and even various metals, pushing the boundaries on what Aboriginal art is.
[3] While his work never strays from the tradition of the Yolnu people, he uses his western influence to innovate what it means to make bark art.
[16] In 2012 he would host his second solo exhibition at the Annandale Galleries titled, From My Mind, in which he had works containing chicken wire, roofing insulation and even PVC pipes.
[17] He has on countless occasion provoked the idea of breaking the mold and instilling the question as to what is stopping Aboriginal artists from bringing in certain materials.
Speaking on the work, Ganambarr said:Artworks of this nature have multiple layers of metaphor and meaning which give lessons about the connections between an individual and specific pieces of country (both land and sea), as well as the connections between various clans but also explaining the forces that act upon and within the environment and the mechanics of a spirit’s path through existence.
