Desmond Pascoe is an Arnhem Land artist and Burarra speaker who excels in working with wood from his local Maningrida area. He is well known for his delicately painted Lorrkon (Hollow Logs) and a master didgeridoo maker.

Hollow Logs are known as Lorrkon in the Maningrida area of Central North Arnhem Land and Larrakitj to the Yolngu speaking people of North East Arnhem Land.  Stringy-bark trees, hollowed out by termites, are prepared for painting on by stripping of their bark and the surfaced smoothed for their natural ochre decoration into clan group designs.
