Sandhills 2006 by Dorothy Napangardi 76x41cm Cat 10005DN

Using a myriad of coloured dots set against a black background Dorothy has created a shifting sea of wonderfully harmonious colour that gathers and disperses across the canvas.

As with all this artist's work, this painting revolves around the sacred site of Mina Mina, the land in the remote Tanami Desert of which Dorothy is custodial owner which is made up of two enormous soakage areas and endless sandhills that shift and move with the wind. These sandhills are the subject of this painting.
