Story

A long, winding snake shape coils through the middle of the composition, ringed by layered circles and angular motifs rendered in earthy ochre, soft pink, white, and black. Dense dotted texture fills every section, giving the surface a vibrating, patterned quality. The piece was made with acrylic in 1975 by Anatjari Tjakamarra (1938–1992), an Australian First Nation painter whose work reflects Aboriginal dot painting traditions.
