Bambatu Campbell Napangardi dazzles with big, bold, and detailed depictions of women’s ceremonies. Up close, her dotted lines lead the eye to routes and watering holes along the way; from a distance the work looks like an elegant woven maze. After a childhood in the bush hunting and gathering in Pintupi Country, she moved with her family to Balgo where she married into a founding family of Papunya painting and learned techniques and perspective from her husband, the artist Dini Campbell Tjampitjinpa. Apprenticing with him gave her a strong platform to paint her own Dreamings. Campbell’s and those of other First Peoples stories refer to their familiar terrain, their age-old ritual grounds filled with ancestral roots, the abundance of berries to forage, the alignment of the stars, and of course, their own personal body paint. The precision and patience she learned from watching her husband and other older men who first began painting in Papunya has come into play every time she paints the intricate line work with dotting techniques to create the stories, the Dreamings of her own mother and father. Campbell is actively mentoring her daughter as the next family painter with exclusive rights to paint these stories, these Dreamings, passed on as cultural heirlooms.
