Jorna Nelson Napurrula 1930 - 2010
Vertegenwoordigd door:
SmithDavidson Gallery
Jorna Nelson Napurrula was born around 1930 near Yuendumu, about 350 kilometers northwest of Alice Springs. Her Dreamings mainly relate to her grandfather's country at Mt. Singleton.
Jorna mainly depicts bush tucker (bush food), different food sources that are important to the diet of the Aboriginal people and the locations where they are to be found. The most common and most important are the yam, a tuber, Janganpa (Possum), an Australian marsupial, Yipintiri, a native bean species, Ngarlajiyi, a sort of carrot and Patanjarnngi, a type of seed.
Jorna painted in a distinctive style. Often, she used the traditional palette of black and white with various ochres, but sometimes, surprising especially considering her age, she experimented spontaneously with bright colors. The latter creates an exciting, modern look combined with the distinctive, traditional iconography and symbolism of the Aboriginal people. Jorna painted for the Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation of Yuendumu, a fully Aboriginal owned and governed art centre.
Jorna Nelson Napurrula passed away in 2010.
