Mina Mina
Dreaming
The artwork
Mina Mina dreaming is illustrated by Judy Watson Napangardi, born in 1925, in Yarungkanji at Mt Doreen
Station, she was taught and inspired the art form of painting and techniques by
her older sister Maggie Napangardi Watson.
The art work
Mina Mina Dreaming by Judy Watson Napangardi, is quite a large painting with dimensions
of 152x152cm. The painting is acrylic on canvas. She uses lines and circles. In
my opinion she uses the space very well and very good color contrast, using the
colors blue, orange,
pink, red, purple and green.
She uses the
canvas space very well, she spreads out her brush strokes and doesn’t overdo it
in one space. This artwork is very unique because it uses a lot of different colour’s,
also it has pattern of circles, lines and other useful shapes.
The main idea
of the artwork “Mina Mina Dreaming” is that it’s important to the Napangardi/Napanangka women and Japangardi/Japanangka men,
and is expressed the components of linen canvas, acrylic paints and many more
useful accessories. The artwork has a horizontal line, meaning that this
artwork is great inspiration for younger Indigenous kids to look up to.
