Emily Kame Kngwarreye - Women's Dreaming - Awelye, 1990 - Emily Kame

122 x 91 cm, 124 x 92.5 cm (framed) This early work by Emily Kngwarreye was commissioned by Rodney Gooch and is representative of the sensitive and subtle paintings of the period. The arrow shapes, masked by the over-dotting, are representative of Nrange, a sacred grass seed, food for the ancestral Emu which, along with the yam dreaming, belonged to Emily and informed much of the iconography of her oeuvre. As Kngwarreye's career evolved, her work became increasingly abstracted and the linear and iconic elements of her early paintings disappeared, only to re-emerge in more minimalist forms towards the end of her life.
