Ngini Ngarwulla Kirrijipuni (Our Clay) celebrates the natural ochres of Pirlangimpi and the Munupi artists who gather and use them to paint Tiwi stories and designs.
Working with earth pigments on canvas, linen and stringybark, the artists bring together the patterns, ceremony and country at the heart of Tiwi life. Each painting carries the colour of the land it comes from, and the exhibition reflects the strength of both the artists and the art centre they share.
Artists: Leon Russell Black, Jacqueline Puruntatameri, Simplicia Tipungwuti, Delores Tipuamantumurri, Dorothy Noni Poantimului, Lidwina Tepomitari and Paulina Puruntatameri.
