Description

Layer Warning:: This layer contains names of people who have passed.; Emily Kame Kngwarreye worked in the Simpson Desert in the final decade of her life, creating art through which "...many white Australians first felt the force of an Indigenous art." This was due to her work being seen as able to "...negotiate a space both within the aesthetics of Western abstraction and the timeless precepts of Aboriginal cultural traditions."
