Bush Medicine Leaf Painting
Bush Medicine Dreaming depicts the leaves of a special plant traditionally used to assist in the healing process. The leaves are collected and boiled so that resin can be extracted from them.
Louise Numina Napananka interprets this subject through repeated leaf forms that spread across the canvas. Shades of blue, green and turquoise create variation throughout the composition, while the overlapping shapes give the painting a strong sense of movement.
The detailed arrangement allows individual leaves to remain visible while also forming a larger flowing pattern across the artwork.
