‘Judy Watson’s diaphanous paintings seem to have been created in the midst of the heat hazes they depict. The imagery floats above a ground of burnt browns, sun bleached oranges and blood red expanses, shifting and pulsating with the hallucinatory energy, the drama and the history of the land. Her work emerges out of a relationship between her family history, a more general history of Aboriginal identity and politics, and her intuitive use of abstract painting itself.’ – Trove
