Embrace the suckage.
I will never be able to create a painting like Dorothy Napangardi. But trying (and failing) made me have a deeper appreciation for her work. I can stand in front of one of her paintings, and know deep in my bones that it is far more complex than I can fully grasp because I’ve tried.
(If you ever get the chance to see any of her paintings in person, do it!)
Ahh!! I got to see the exhibition of her work at the Seattle Art Museum and it was amazing. My graduating final project for my art degree wayyy back was all about repetitious physical marks that involve the body; I wish I'd known about her art at that time as I think it lives in that realm too.
Thank you for introducing me to her work! It's stunning.
