Abstract
The central claim of this article is that the paintings of Aboriginal Australian artist Judy Watson instantiate a feminist aesthetic that reflects the artist’s membership of a group with culturally specific ownership of knowledge. It is the first of the three articles I published on my doctoral research, and as such represented an important stage in fulfilling the goal of placing that work in appropriate and high profile venues such as the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art. This article is significant not simply because it provided a fresh view of the works of Judy Watson, but because, in common with the above-mentioned articles, it adopts an interdisciplinary methodology that combines a rigorous visual and theoretical analysis with the cultural and socio-historical contextualisation so necessary to a comprehensive understanding of the artistic works in question.
