THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD

 
Stock AA0734

Arnwekery (Bush Plum) Dreaming

Gracie Pwerl Morton

This painting describes the search for bush tucker across the Central Desert landscape which is an important part of Aboriginal life.

Gracie (born 1956) specializes in painting the Bush Plum Dreaming, also known to the Alyawarre as Arnwekety. Her style of painting is distinctively minimalist and she uses a very delicate dotting technique and traditional colours, which derive from the colours of natural ochres.
