STORY
Julie Robinson is the daughter of renowned painter Dorothy Napangardi. In this work she has rendered  her fathers country around Pirlinyanu, a site made up of rocky outcrops on a stark black background enlivened with a tracery of white dots. This is an important permanent water source west of the Yuendumu community in the Tanami Desert. Julie’s paintings are a unique blend of stylised experimentation and ancient narrative. Her palette most typically consists of red, grey, black and/or white, and is most concerned with Water Dreamings in her Warlpiri country.
