Catalogue text
This work is accompanied by a certificate from Flinders Lane Gallery which states: ‘The patterning and detail in this work incorporate the symbols derived from central Australian Aboriginal art as well as the artist’s imaginative personal symbols that go beyond dots. One major theme of the artist’s work is “Dreamtime” in which the landscape – trees, spinifex or shrubs – is expressed through the simplest elements of pattern.’
