Jahnne Pasco-White's works comprise a variety of materials, from reclaimed oil paints, found raw pigments, leftover acrylic paints, plant-based colour, and recycled textiles. In mmms, Pasco-White invites us to enter her mixed media world to explore the emotions underpinning her work and to discover the power of painting as a means of connection and sensation. The “mmms” of the exhibition's title refer to a broad range of references, both micro and macro, celestial and personal, from the first murmurings of life to observations of the natural world around us.
Yipu Jangkarni, Big Rain
Art from Karungkarni Art and Culture, Kalkarindji

Northern Territory
From the Northern Territory's Karungkarni Art and Culture in Kalkarindji comes Yipu Jangkarni, Big Rain, a vivid, expressive depiction of the heavy downpour in March 2023 that affected the people of Kalkarindji, Daguragu, and Pigeonhole.
“Houses were inundated with water, roads and causeways washed away; power lines were knocked over. The Old People said that these were a different type of rain as to what the people had been used to for many years. The countryside has now become transformed,” says Aboriginal Bush Traders.

Across paintings and sculptures, she moves organic materials and forms towards a more abstract, more intricate, mysterious state of beauty.
