This literal walkthrough of the exhibition comprises three rooms and two floors of Asia Society. I may summarize the didactic panels later, but for now leaving them so interested readers can directly research these incredible bark paintings. What I glean overall, is that various tribes perfect a songline technique passed through their lineage, with any overlap negotiated among tribes.
The colors are iron oxide, painted with handmade brushes, on eucalyptus.
A new generation
Movement of water on shore
Movement of fish in water
One of my favorites--dense patterning, yet irregular, highly textured
More decorative imagery by women not allowed to access the songline
Upstairs, third floor
Then a room of contemporary works on linen
