Mrs Bennett favors the use of strong contrasts in her work using blacks and pale yellows/creams set in relief against a red ground. Her designs are based on the stories relating to women†s ceremony and often depict the gathering of traditional bush foods and the rituals that are connected with their preparation. The depictions of the sand dune country and surrounding rocky outcrops bear a relationship to the designs used for body painting during the ceremonial dance referred to as ‽inma”.
Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa (aka, Mrs. Bennett)
Born circa 1935, Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa first began her artistic career in the mid 1990´s. Living in Kintore, she has developed a free and original style in contrast to artists in Kintore who prefer the very precise dot-painting method.
