Katjarra Butler
Katjarra Butler is renowned for her wide luscious brush strokes and innovative style. Her artistic process, often involving the application of numerous layers of paint, builds a fullness and depth distinctive in her work. Katjarra combines traditional symbols in a highly contemporary rendering of Ngaanyatjarra stories, culture, and landscape. Katjarra grew up in the bush with her extended family group. It was in 1966 that they were transported to the settlement of Papunya. Her parents are Lilyiwara Tjungurrayi and Mangkatji Nangala. Katjara often paints dreamings of the site Kuurrmankutja and Marrapirnti. Katjarra was born near Tjukurla in WA (c 1946) quite close to Kurlkurta and Puurrungu at a place called Kuun, where there is a waterhole. Kuun is the name for yellow ochre. There is also a place very close to Kuun that Katjarra refers to as her home and it is one of her tjukurpa or dreaming which she paints. It is called Kuurrmankutja. This place is home to the two kuniya (python) dreaming. The other dreaming that she paints is Marrapinti. Her paintings depict " tali' sandhills ,"puli"rocks & "kungka" women painting up & preparing for ceremony. Many of her works include"kampurrarpa" or bush raisin which is collected. Her work has a rawness to it evoking the true feel of a desert sand mosaic.

- Night BloomsBy Andrew JensdotterLocated in Denver, COFrom his recent exhibition entitled, Dioramas from Eden, Andrew Jensdotter continues his practice of painting hundreds of layers of iconic pictures of a single subject from a Google image search and then carving through the final amalgamation to create an "original" of his own. What was once representational with a clear focal point becomes a decidedly all-over abstract composition almost archaeological in nature. This laborious and emotional process of erasure synchronizes with the show’s theme – an elaboration on the Garden of Eden and the concept of expulsion from paradise...Category
