Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 1994 shows long painted lines and small dots moving across a flat earth field. The marks follow a story path through country and sit in earth red and black tones. Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri works in the western desert painting movement and uses this dot painting technique to carry a desert story.

The fine art frame in white gives the picture a clean edge on the wall. That white edge holds the dark tones without crowding them. The matte paper keeps the small dots from shining under a lamp.

A hallway landing works well here. From the landing you see the long story line first, then the small dots step in as you pass. The white frame sits plain against the wall.
