In this exhibition, Mother Cloud (in reference to the maternal wet season), Galuma Maymuru embraces sacred designs used in Yolngu ceremonial body painting for women to portray the sacred woman Nyapilingu in the form of wapitja, digging stick or sceptre.
As Will Stubbs (Coordinator, Buku Larrnggay Mulka Artists, NT) writes:
These works by Galuma Maymuru are the latest offering from Yolngu people towards sharing their understanding of the nature of reality.... Her knowledge is women’s knowledge as manifest in her digging stick or sceptre which is in turn shaped to as a portrait of her.
We welcome Galuma Maymuru to our stable of artists with her first exhibition at Alcaston Gallery, Mother Cloud.
