'Lappi Lappi Jukurrpa' by Mary Anne Nampijinpa Michaels
Region: Nyirripi,
Northern Territory
Language: Warlpiri
"One of the standouts from this exhibition is Mary Anne Nampijinpa Michaels. The way she thickly lays on the paint and drags it quickly around the canvas (as opposed to a more traditional dotting technique) produces fluid and powerful works. Michaels's confidence is derived not so much from the medium, but from knowing her stories and her place in (and of) the land."
