There are many anecDOTes to explain Australian Aboriginal dot art. Some say the dot-style was used early on in sand drawings to tell SPECKtacular stories…
(A. Napanangka “Amicitia”)

(M. Doolan “Bush Tucker After Rain")
And others say the dots’ purpose was to disguise the sacred meanings of these reMARKably complex paintings.
(C. Turner “Stella")

Here’s to the world's many viewPOINTs & to feeling good—because after all, it’s Friday!
