Sandhills, 2003 by Dorothy Napangardi 30x30cm Cat 7873DN

Dorothy often created smaller 'esquisses' as exploratory studies before commencing work on larger canvases. One of her themes is 'sandhills' and in this small work, she plays with a linear movement, transitioning her lines between ochre colours.

The movement on this small work is refined to a simplicity that takes your eyes from one side of the canvas to the other and back again, whether it is viewed in a vertical or a horizontal perspective.

There is an interesting chapter on Sandhills - A Study on Sandhills (from the publication Honouring and Remembering the Art and Life of Dorothy Napangardi).
