With note Published for 'Mavis Ngallametta: Show Me the Way to Go Home', an exhibition organised by the Queensland Art Gallery / Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) and held at QAG, Brisbane, Australia, 21 March - 2 August 2020.
Summary Mavis Ngallametta (Kugu-Uwanh people, Putch clan, 1944 - 2019), one of Queensland's most esteemed artists, was a senior Cape York artist who was born 'out bush' near Aurukun in 1944. Her traditional country is around Kendall River, south of Aurukun. Mrs Ngallametta's career was very short, but highly influential. She is remembered for her rich legacy to her community and to art and culture nationally. Mrs Ngallametta is renowned for her large-scale paintings created during the last ten years - artworks in which she mastered figurative scenes combined with meandering dotted patterns over bold ochre fields, and where a multitude of perspectives and stories are woven together in a glimmering fabric. However, her creative journey began decades earlier with explorations of traditional weaving techniques. This timely publication will illustrate the artist's richly detailed, large-scale paintings and woven works, and will feature photographs of the artist and her country.
