- Artist Statement
- (Text courtesy Buku-Larrnggay Centre). Wayilkpa Maymuru’s artistic practice emerges from rich cultural and intellectual traditions. Her grandfather Narritjin Maymuru (1921-1981) is one of the most highly respected Yolŋu artists in history. Wayilkpa continues her family’s strong artistic legacy through her refined and meditative mark marking. She navigates the space between what is revealed and what is concealed in her contemporary interpretations of ancient Maŋgalili Clan narratives. Her recent works echo the Buwayak movement -a word that translates to ‘invisibility’. This movement which emerged in the early 2000s marked a move away from the heavy figurative imagery dictated by earlier conventions.
