The dots are in shades of red, pink, yellow, and orange, with black appearing to show through beneath them. Most of the yellow dots seem to be clustered towards the right, with the red and pink dots scattered throughout.

Muna – Everything

Emily Kam Kngwarray · 1991 · synthetic polymer paint on linen ·  Accession ID  2024.15.1

This painting displays a complex network of thick, interwoven, curved lines in warm colors of pink, peach, white, and yellow against a dark background. The abstract composition resembles a chaotic tangle, reminiscent of intertwined ribbons or overlapping pathways crisscrossing each other in a random pattern. The brushstrokes are visible, and the paint is applied unevenly in some areas, creating slight variations in color.
