Barbara Skinner b. 1971

Biography
LANGUAGE: ALYAWARRE
REGION: UTOPIA, N.T.

Barbara Skinner is an emerging Alyawarre artist from Utopia, a remote Aboriginal homelands region, some 340km north-east of Alice Springs.

 

Barbara paints the story of water soakage sites in her country. The roundels represent the waterholes from a bird’s eye point-of-view, where the vital source bubbles up from the giving land. Barbara uses repetition of circular forms, but uses brushwork rather than a dotting technique and vibrant colours to create a contemporary aesthetic.
