Ngilan Dodd has a special work currently on exhibition @mprg_vic as part of #NWOP22. “Milpatjunanyi is a game of making marks in the sand with a bent bit of wire to tell stories. I’ve been telling stories and making marks my entire life. I’m an old lady now, minyma pampa, and I’ve taught many kids and grandkids about Tjukurpa and inma by drawing in the sand. I’ve had many different ways of telling stories: singing, dancing, weaving, drawing, even painting! Earlier this year I saw this special paper at the art centre and decided to create a new kind of artwork with the very wire I used to use to make my first marks in the sand as a young girl. I’ve come around full circle, using paper and wire to hold my stories for the grandchildren, for everyone to see my drawings and song.” - Ngilan Dodd Ngayuku Walka (my mark), 2022, by Ngilan Dodd 1200mm x 1700mm
