Biography
Born c.1919 at Yarripirlangu, south-west of Yuendumu, a site associated with the Ngarrka (Initiated Men) or Ngalyipi (Snake Vine) Dreaming. He was one of the senior men whose painting of the doors of the Yuendumu school helped to start up the painting enterprise in the community. He collaborated with Paddy Japaljarri Sims , Jimija Jungarrayi and Paddy Jupurrurla Nelson on Munga Star Dreaming 1985, purchased by the Australian National Gallery from Warlukurlangu Artists’ first Sydney show at the Hogarth Gallery in December of that year. His Milky Way Dreaming 1986, also purchased by the Gallery typified the exuberance of the early Yuendumu style, which remained undiminished in Larry Spencer’s work.
