WINGA NGIMA marks the debut solo exhibition of Munupi artist Christine Puruntatameri, presenting a series of bark paintings made with natural ochres.
Christine brings a distinct style to her work, one that remains grounded in Tiwi traditions. She paints with the pwoja, a timber pronged painting comb, using it to build fine, rhythmic patterns in earth pigment across the surface of the bark. The result is work that carries the strength of tradition while speaking clearly in her own voice.
Presented together for the first time, the works offered an introduction to an emerging artist whose practice honours the past while finding its own direction.
