Press Release
Aranya Art Center North is pleased to present the first museum solo exhibition in China by Australian Waanyi artist Judy Watson, featuring large-scale paintings and video works created between 2019 and 2023.
The indigo tones that often appear in Judy Watson’s work are carriers of her family and ancestral memories, while the ochre symbolizes connections to land and blood. She is a descendant of the Waanyi people of Northwest Queensland, Australia. Her matrilineal Aboriginal history and her family’s images of women form an important wellspring of creative inspiration in her work. The Waanyi are known as the “running water people.” Water is not only a symbol of life but also a carrier of memory, which is why it is a frequently recurring theme in Watson’s work. Watson’s creations are tied together by individual and collective memory, through which she continuously explores the persistence and echos of identity and historical memory.
