Awelye Atnwengerrp, 2016
Acrylic on linen
164 x 140 cm
65 x 55 in
Galya’s paintings depict traditional women’s ceremonies known as “Awelye Atnwengerrp” which is broadly translated as Women’s Dreaming. The bold expressive lines in Galya’s paintings are said to represent body paint designs, dancing tracks made in the sand during women’s ceremonies and sacred places where the ceremonies take place. In this work Galya uses curved and thick brush strokes, overlaid with dots which conceal the body paint design underneath.
