Sandhills in Atnangkere Country
Kathleen Petyarre Australian (Aboriginal)
Not on view
This painting showcases Kathleen Petyarre’s refined technique in which she creates multiple fields of intricate dots. These work as visual metaphors to actively invoke epic dreamlike narratives. In this nearly monochromatic painting, the artist conveys the topography of her homeland and the agency of its original ancestral inhabitants in lines that drift diagonally across the surface in shades of burnt orange and red.
