Abie began painting in 1994 on the advice of her grandmother, the famous Kathleen Petyarre, who guided her in her first works, inspired by ‘dreams’. In this work, she depicts a fragile and delicate bush plant: the sensitive. As soon as you touch this plant, it comes to life and retracts. 

This carpet of leaves is a moment of pure poetry!

Remarkable for its extraordinary mastery of dot painting, the impression of breathing that emanates from it, the hypnotic character of the motifs animated by a movement that is both centrifugal and centripetal, this painting itself proves the high degree of awareness and aesthetic success that Abie Loy has achieved.
