This painting called Bush Medicine Green Leaves and Dried Leaves, shows a plant commonly used for skin treatments. The plant is found in Central Australia bush land and around rocky hills. The process involves carefully harvesting the leaves which are then boiled, leaving behind oil. This oil can be applied to the skin to soothe and promote healing. This traditional practice in Aboriginal communities is passed down through generations.
The yellow and brown dots are the dried leaves, the black dots scattered throughout are seeds, ensuring the continued growth of the plants.
