‘The composite self’ examines the multidimensional nature of identity, and the concept that our sense of self is informed by numerous influences, including our social circles and familial ties. For example, Vincent Namatjira’s double portrait pays homage to his late great-grandfather, the renowned Arrernte watercolourist Albert Namatjira.
