INSIDE: internet art

HARRY: I am so excited. We just ‘won’ a painting on ebay. I mentioned awhile ago that I was obsessing over the indigenous art on ebay. Well, the obsession paid off. I know I shouldn’t think about it as winning - but we did win. We got it! It’s the piece above by Louise Numina. Her aunts are Gloria and Kathleen Petyarre - two indigenous artists I really admire but cannot afford. They are Utopia region artists, about 270 kms from Alice Springs in central Australia. Numina’s work is graphic, dynamic and powerful and I am so thrilled to have one in my house. It’s the kind of thing you imagine passing on to your kids. The gallery that sells them has a great rating so I am feeling good about it all. I’ll let you know if it never arrives!
