Here the earth burns in deep crimson and oxide red, worked in dense fields of dots that pulse like heat haze over the ground. Yellow channels branch across the canvas. They read as watercourses after rain, or as the veins of fire moving through dry grass, depending on how long you look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo concentric circles anchor the composition. One sits near the top left, the other near the bottom right. In the visual language of the desert these mark places, meeting points, sites where something happens. The branching yellow lines travel between them. The eye follows the flow and finds its way across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJungala was a Gurindji man whose people led the Wave Hill Walk-Off, the stand that opened the way for Indigenous land rights in Australia. That attachment to country runs through his work. He painted the land as something felt from the inside, with its weather and its water and its memory all present at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis dotting technique is loose and energetic. The reds are layered so the ground never sits flat. You can see the method his daughters Sarrita and Tarisse King would carry forward, the same confidence with large fields of colour and the same reading of landscape as a living thing. \u003cem\u003eEarth images\u003c\/em\u003e comes from the final year of his life. It stands as a strong example of the vision he passed on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dreamtime Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67679841255657,"sku":"DDWK07132","price":7700.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/0993\/6873\/files\/DDWK07132-William_King_Jungala-2007-Earth_images-90x120cm-1_web2000.jpg?v=1791951120","url":"https:\/\/cag.art\/products\/william-king-jungala-earth-images-2007-90x120cm","provider":"Canberra Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
