Matilda Malparringa Pascoe Australian, Burarra, b. 1967

Matilda Pascoe is a sculptor and bark painter and member of the Warrawarra clan whose lands lie on Burarra country to the east of the Blyth River.

She depicts spirit beings, plants and animals for which she is custodian (Traditional Owner), including Warraburnburn (ghost's and spirit), baru (crocodile), jarlambu (catfish), gorraporda (cormorant) and banaka (digging stick). She is most renowned for her bold, large-scale, warraburburn carvings, a 'supertall' jarra an-baykarda 'ghost’ figure that lives in patches of jungle surrounding her homeland Gamurra Gu-yurra.

She learned under the guidance of her late husband Jimmy An-gunguna, an important bark painter and sculptor whose works were included in Metamorphosis at the Venice Biennale in 1997.
