"Dotting used to highlight the content in Balgo paintings, the Kuruwarri, [the sacred design associated with ‘traditional iconography] bringing an optical dynamism to painted forms. Over time it has pulled away from those forms, and seemingly become the content itself."
"The jukurrpa is not an enduring edifice, however much it is presented as such. It persists because it changes, or because it has always helped desert people make sense of change."
