Kunkurra (The Spiralling Wind)

Outstation Gallery presents Ivan Namirrkki, Obed Namirrkki, Kenan Namunjdja and Deborah Yulidjirri, four Kardbam artists whose bark paintings and hollow logs invoke Kunkurra, a supernatural force tied to Country, ceremony and living cultural inheritance.

A tradition nearly five decades in the making, the rarrk cross-hatching first mastered by Peter Marralwanga now lives in the hands of his children and grandchildren. Spanning two generations, these works carry forward a lineage of deep kinship, sacred place and artistic excellence rooted in the Kardbam estate of West Arnhem Land.

This is art that endures because it must.

A Group Exhibition in association with Maningrida Arts & Culture.
