Dianne Ungukalpi Golding

Warakurna WA

Dianne Ungukalpi Golding is an artist belonging to the Ngaanyatjarra language and cultural group in Western Australia.

Dianne has made baskets for a number of years and first learnt from relatives in Warakurna. She enjoys experimenting with different shapes and says: “Some long like piti (traditional wood dish), some round like the sun.” She has since made a number of sculptural pieces drawing inspiration from the animals prevalent on the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, whether they be the camp dogs in the community or the goannas, porcupines, or rabbits hunted out bush.
