Rahab Nungarrayi Spencer
|
BiographyRahab Nungarrayi Spencer is an artist from Yuendumu Community, located approximately 3 hours from Alice Springs in Central Australia. Rahab is a Warlpiri woman with the primary focus of her artworks based on her Jukurrpa (Dreaming) of Wardapi or Goanna. This Dreaming comes from an area east of Yuendumu Community called Yarumayi. It is a place of great significance for its ochre deposits and a place for collecting ceremonial stones. Rahab’s artworks are quite colourful and vary in colour, size and presentation. At times she will use traditional Aboriginal iconography and symbols whilst in others her paintings become quite abstract. She has worked closely with Warlukurlangu – Artists of Yuendumu for a number of years and it is through them that her works are now featured in several galleries around Australia. Central Art is excited to be able to now feature her paintings through our website. |
