Biography
Born c.1957 Yurnturnu (Yuendumu) and a Warlpiri person whose country is Janyingki and his Dreamings are Mardukuja- mardukuja (Women’s Dreaming), Yurrampi (Honey Ant), Yana (Star Dreaming). He works with his wife, Peggy Napurrurla Rockman , and started painting in 1985. His paintings reflect an exceptional intelligence. He worked in close association with writer/anthropologist Eric Michaels, and his bi-cultural facility has helped many other researchers to negotiate between Warlpiri and western culture. Lives at Lajamanu with his wife’s family, but usually paints for Warlukurlangu Artists in Yuendumu because of the better quality materials available from the well-established Yuendumu painting company. His work has been included in numerous Warlukurlangu Artists exhibitions since 1990 and was reproduced in the catalogue of Australian Aboriginal Art from the Collection of Donald Kahn , which toured America in 1991-2 and has since been shown in several European cities and Israel.
