Alatyeytby Selina Teece PwerlThis painting depicts Alatyeyt, which is the Aboriginal word for Spinifex Grass. The painting is inspired by Selina's homelands of Utopia in Central Australia. There is a flowing movement to the artwork similar to what you would see as the afternoon breeze flows through the country side swaying the spinifex grass as it moves. |
