The main feature of this group show are new works by Renee Wilson, who has been working on a series of paintings called Ngithhan Ngnma Dulka that, in Lardil language, translates to My Mother Earth.
The highly detailed paintings feature a sinuous ribbon snaking across a field of optically captivating dots that form patterns of shifting surfaces that evoke both the physical and spiritual Earth.
Aerial views of the landscape and the rivers of the Gulf are obvious references in these works but the key reference is to the Mother Earth – the archetypal feminine spirit that pervades the land and connects all that are in and on it.
