About the Item

Maggie Major Nampitjinpa, "Itilangi Tjukurrpa", acrylic on linen. This stunning painting is built up of white dots on a black background, and creates a mesmerising optical effect the more you stare at it. It is a truly exciting visual experience and would work wonderfully in any modern interior setting. Maggie Major paints at the community arts centre at Papunya Tjupi, Northern Territory. This painting depicts a Women’s Rockhole site to the South East of Kintore. This is her Grandfather’s country. Like most of the young men and women who have begun painting at Papunya since the establishment of Papunya Tjupi Art Centre in late 2007, Maggie Major Nampitjinpa is part of the third generation of artists in her family. Maggie’s maternal grandfather is Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri, one of the founders of Papunya Tula Artists and her mother Punata Stockman Nungurrayi is one of Papunya Tjupi’s senior artists and a former company Chairperson. Maggie is one of many twins in the Stockman family. She and her sister Sheila were born in 1977 in Alice Springs Hospital and have spent all their lives in Papunya, except for the period when they attended boarding school at Yirara College for secondary education. On her return to Papunya, Maggie married Joshua Poulson, with whom she has adopted two children. Maggie learnt to paint by watching her mother and her optical designs have their beginnings in Punata’s geometric rendering of her mothers’s country Mt Denison. Maggie’s works have been included in various group exhibitions including Papunya Tjupi Arts, Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, Adelaide 2011; Papunya Tjupi: Generations, Mossenson Galleries, Melbourne 2011 and Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair - Darwin Convention Centre, Darwin 2010.
