Ngapa Jukurrpaby Julie Nangala RobertsonThe site depicted in this painting in Pirlinyarnu. The owners of this Dreaming are the Nangala and Nampijinpa women and the Jangala and Jampijinpa men. The story tells of two Jangala men, rainmakers, sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm that collided with another storm. The Kirrkarlanji carried the storm further west. The two storms travelled across the country from Karlipirnpa, a ceremonial site for water Dreaming. Along the way the storms passed through important places and before long became to heavy for the falcon to carry. It dropped the water at Pirlinyarnu where it formed an enormous clay-pan. A water soakage exists in this place today. Whenever it rains, hundreds of bush ducks still flock to Pirlinyarnu. |
ArtistJulie Nangala Robertson was born in Yuendumu Community in 1973 and is the daughter of well known and award winning artist Dorothy Napangardi (sadly passed away in 2013). Since the late 1990's Julie has pursued and developed a creative visual language of her own often in the company and support of her mother. Julie paints with Warlukurlangu Artists an Aboriginal art centre based in Yuendumu and Central Art is excited to be able to host and showcase their artists. Usually an aerial perspective along with a more recently and established distinctive monochromatic pallette, Julie’s current paintings (which depict the topographical features of her traditional country at the site of Pirlinyanu) have become works of extraordinary optical brilliance as she alternates the size of dots throughout her work as well as building up specific shapes or reference points often repeated with overdotting. |
