1. Ita Tipingwuti Parlini Jilamara 2008 earth pigment on canvas 160.0 x 200.0 cm Provenance: TIWI Arts, NT Ita Tipingwuti is an emerging Tiwi solo artist from Bathurst Island, N.T. Tipingwuti paints Parlini Jilamara, a design that represents the old language and the old ways of the Tiwi people. She is inspired by traditional Tiwi body art patterns and the graphic qualities found in the natural world, such as shells and plants.

Ita Tipingwuti will exhibit at Vivien Anderson Gallery in July 2009.
