JALMARRA-JARTI (All the birds have wings)
Katie Nalgood, her Country and its birds should not be considered as different entities, they
should be considered as one; you can’t have the sea without water or the desert without the sand. Together they form an unseen harmony that resonates in her acrylic paintings. The birds and their songs are the sound memories of Katie’s home. Born in 1957 at Liveringa Station she fondly remembers time spent out bush with her family where she first heard and fell in love with the birds, saying to herself, “I would like to paint these when I grow up....Birds are the first thing we see, you know, when we wake up. See and hear.” Collaborating with family members in the beginning to refine her style, Katie now paints independently documenting the birds of Western Australia with a bold and joyful palette. Jalmarra - Jarti, All the birds have wings’
is a delightful exhibition documenting Western Australia’s incredible birdlife.
Founded in 2008, Spinifex Hill Studio is where South Headland’s award winning Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander art collective gathers to paint. The group welcomes artists from
over eight different language groups including Banjima, Kariyarra, Martu, Ngarla, Noongar,
Nyangumarta, Nyiyaparli and Yamaj.
The exhibition runs from 16 November - 14 December
