Gulumbu, the youngest sister of Galarrwuy (former Northern Land Council Chair and Australian of the Year) and Mandawuy Yunupinu (lead singer of Yothu Yindi and former Australian of the Year), lived as a child at Yirrkala and went to school in the old Mission house. She married Yirrkala Church Panel artist Mutitjpuy Munungurr and had four children, including Milkaynu Munugurr, original yidaki (didjeridu) player for the band Yothu Yindi. Her father is the senior Gumatj man Mungurrawuy, married to Makurrnu, who comes from the Gälpu clan.
again i always enjoy the simpler works. lines and dots. i think they have such power because of the number and detail of them. although the spacing inbetween is perfect. the paintings feel balanced.
