Dorothy Napangardi (c.1950-2013) was the master

of movement. Her dotted representations of the

landscape around her country are truly captivating

and have made her one of the most well-known

Australian Aboriginal artists.

Dorothy Napangardi is a Warlpiri woman from Mina

Mina, which is about 400km North West of Alice

Springs. Mina Mina is the site of an important rock

hole and there are many Dreaming stories

associated with this country.

Dorothy’s paintings are created by an intricate

network of lines that collide and implode on top of

each other creating a play of tension and expansion,

transporting the viewer through a myriad of

intersections.
