NOTE
TIn the late 1990s the artist began to focus on the conjunction of place and narrative as expressed through the theme of Women's Dreamings. From 1997 to 1999 the artist experimented with compositional structures based on variations of the grid. Of these, only a few are based on the circular or radiating grid as seen in this work. (See Webb, V., 'Form and content' in Napangardi 2002:72-76)
This painting is sold with an accompanying Dancing Up Country, The Art of Dorothy Napangardi catalogue
