Lot description
Narrabri Nakamarra, was the daughter of 2008 Telstra Award winning artist Makinti Napanangka and sister-in-law of 2006 Telstra Award winner, Ngoia Pollard Napaltjarri. She was born in Haasts Bluff circa 1950 and lived there for some time before moving with her family to the Papunya community. Narrabri later moved to Kintore with her husband Hilary Tjapaltjarri, their two daughters, and five grandchildren. She began painting by assisting Makinti with her artworks prior to Makinti's successful eye operation in the late 1990s. She commenced painting for Papunya Tula in her own right in 1999, creating a diverse range of Dreamings, often in significantly different styles heavily influenced by those of her mother â in particular, her use of straight lines representing sand hills and her exploration of themes associated with Lupulnga, he mother's ceremonial site. However, Narrabri's paintings immediately prior to her passing, had developed their own distinctive style as exemplified in this work.
