Response to Emily Kame Kngwarreye

I chose Emily Kame Kngwarreye because I admire her work that expresses energy, passion through her beautiful interplay of colours with her bold brushworks. Kngwarreye a prominent contemporary Australian aboriginal artist, which her paintings emphasis on the spiritual meaning based in the tradition of her people. While many aboriginal paintings are focused on dreamings, Kngwarreye chose to paint very abstract broad paintings of the land and how it supports their way of life. For my response to Kngwarreye's work, I wanted to emphasize the colours and the integration of her stroking she incorporated in her paintings by using Bee Paper Stripple Paper and colour markers.
