Awelye 2002 by Abie Kemarre Loy 46x46cm Cat 7011AL

Abie Loy Kemarre finesse as a painter is expressed in many different styles. In this lyrical Body Painting artwork, Abie creates in her work “ Awelye ”, the ceremonial designs that custodial women use in “women’s business”. These women dreamtime stories are passed down through the female line during which the women paint their bodies in ochres, singing and dancing. This is called “ Awelye ”.
