Tie Untitled by Helen Dale Samson
In this untitled painting, Samson depicts the area surrounding the community of Jigalong in the Eastern Pilbara. This is her ngurra (home Country), where she lives with her family.
Samson leaves the viewer to their own devices in contemplating this work – a satellite perspective of a vast and nuanced landscape, or an intricate study of the smallest of its elements?
Regardless of the answer, Samson’s intricate iconography undulates across the gentle lilac background creating a beautiful visual meditation.
