Women's Ceremonyby Patricia Jackson NapanangkaThis beautiful artwork depicts the women's ceremonies which are carried out in Patricia's homeland and country around Kintore Community in the Western Desert of Central Australia. Patricia depicts her grandmother, Walangkura Napanangka's country and the important spiritual and cultural ceremonies which take place there.
Patricia uses a striking contrast of black and an off-white colour scheme to detail her story. Her dot work is precise yet strong with thick dot work. |
ArtistPatricia Jackson Napanangka was born in 1983 and comes from Kintore Community in the Western Desert of Central Australia.

She is a young woman an artist beginning her artistic and cultural journey. Her artworks feature the traditional stories about her country, she uses contemporary styles with often vibrant and bold linear designs, circles and fine dot work. She will often title her artworks "My Grandmother's Country" and they detail important cultural and spiritual messages regarding the traditional women's ceremonies which occur. |
Why Sabine likes thisI like the contrasting colours of back and white throughout the painting. Patricia is an exciting up and coming artist with a strong artistic family. |
