Josie Petrick belongs to the Utopia community, located in the heart of the Australian desert. She is the granddaughter of the great Emily Kame Kngwarreye and began painting in the 1980s. Josie has inherited some of her grandmother's stories, associated with women's ceremonies and dreams, or dreams of gathering in the bush, which she treats with superimposed dots. The result of transposing motifs originally created on the ground onto canvas, the Aboriginal paintings in particular exploit all the possibilities of dot painting (or "pointillism") specific to the "satellite" canvases of the desert.
