Sandhills by Sarrita King

These artworks are inspired by the expanses of sand hills found through Australia. They striate across the land and their perpetual movement and varied colours have always fascinated Sarrita .


Sarrita recalls her father telling her how the patterns formed by the wind are repeated throughout nature; she reflects on this when flying over the desert and then over the waves of the ocean.


Stylistically minimal, Sarrita leaves a lot of the canvas absent of paint and simply traces fine waves across the canvas. Undulating in their movement, they create a subtle hypnotic effect the viewer be drawn into. Sarrita depicts these topographically which is a very common way of painting or"mapping the land" amongst Central and Western Desert Aboriginal Artists.
