Each painting in this new body of work inimitably articulates the sacred Kalipinypa Water Dreaming story the rain- and hail-making ceremony passed down to the artist by her eminent late father.  Nakamarra continues to energise and reinvent this ancient and abiding songline through a complex and exceptional layering of paint for which her artwork has become uniquely known.

Abstract painting with layered drips, dots and botanical designs in deep and bright red, pink, various yellows and black.
