Jilamara Arts and Crafts Association presents a
solo exhibition of large-scale ochre paintings on stringybark by Barabara Puruntatameri.

Barbara learned how to paint by watching her grandfather prepare for ceremonies. Her works celebrate the use of locally sourced earth pigments used by artists at Jilamara and the kayimwagakimi – a carved ironwood comb used to apply dots to the body for ceremony. Barbara uses this tool to create intricate vertically orientated lines of pwanga (ochre dots) reminiscent of yirrinkirripwoja or designs applied specifically to the face for yoyi (dance)
