Ancestors II – Contemporary Australian Aboriginal Painting

Descripción

This ‘Ancestors’ painting, is layered with dots representing markings made on the land over thousands of years, entangled with patterns covering the land today, such as sand hills, flora and paths made by humans and animals. Beneath the land are the waterways which have been virtually constant over time feeding the land, the flora, fauna and humans. Sarrita’s ‘Ancestors’ works consist of two compositions layered over one another. The first layer represents the undulating surface of the land. The second layer is a depiction of the Cosmos – where the Ancestors go in the afterlife.
