Brilliant dot painting Khmer style!


Snow on the Tonle Sap

When Australian Aboriginal art meets Angkor, the result is stunning. From
within a myriad of perfect dots, a jumble of Hanuman monkey warriors emerge
in the shape of a sacred elephant storming to battle, its feet floating on
a carpet of flowers and stars. Each flower alone is formed from at least
four tiny dots of brightly colored paint. Ian 'Snow' Woodford's work is
even more remarkable because the working class Australian boy from Sydney
is colorblind.
