Pansy Napangardi

This painting was a gift to Pansy’s partner Dean’s Mother in 1986. Every year after that Pansy would visit and add a bit more to it. It started as a simple red ochre bush banana dreaming painting and every year it was added to. This work was completed about 10 years after it was started. This painting started as a bush banana dreaming with a simple motif in red ochre. Pansy kept on working on it and it evolved into more of a complex painting. It details two separate histories; one from Pansy’s fathers side and one from her mother’s side.
