From this perspective, Kngwarreyes art functions within the field of diffrance defined by Derrida as the systematic game of differences, or traces of differences, of spacing by which the elements enter into relation with one another (25). The canvases thus uniquely echo the linear patterns derived from the designs of Aboriginal ceremonial body paint.

In the case of the coolamon, situating the work in multiple contexts, without a seeming limit to that possibility, indicates the capacity for a work to enter into new relations.12 The work is thus not identical to any singular instance, but accrues meaning as it moves through institutional and discursive, Indigenous and non-Indigenous contexts. Such a state need not be met with resignation, but may be viewed as an opportunity to engage in intercultural exchange while offering the hope, but not the guarantee, that persistent structural inequalities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples may yet be overcome, in and across times.
