‘Stories and Structures - New Connections’ is a fascinating new exhibition touring Australia presented by Microscopy Australia.
The exhibition reveals similarities between Aboriginal art and microscopic structures hidden in the natural world. Amongst the works made for the exhibition are paintings by artists Bay Gallery Home represents including Judith Nungarrayi Martin’s Janganpa Jukurrpa (Brush Tail Possum Dreaming) - Mawurrji and Lukarrara Jukurrpa (Desert Fringe-rush Seed) by Priscilla Napurrurla Herbert.
As the Aboriginal’s have had an intimate relationship with Australia’s landscape and animals for over 60,000 years it shouldn’t come as a surprise that their artwork reflects their environment even on a microscopic level. However, the similarity between the paintings and the microscopic images is remarkable. And moving.
