Jennifer Dikarr Malarra

Jennifer Dikarr is a senior artist and wife of fellow artist Alfred Walpay. Dikarr and Walway work closely together, often drawing on their traditional knowledge of materials and skills to produce new forms. Their collaborative sculptural works show their mastery of working with traditional media to produce artworks which are distinctly their own contemporary designs.

As a master weaver Dikarr is known for her use of bold pinks, reds and purples, produced by dyes sourced from plants harvested at her mother’s homeland of Yilan. Yilan is located on the mainland east of Yurrwi (Milingimbi).
