This is a painting about women out collecting bush tomato. The curved shapes are women, there are 4 groups of 4 women.
The bush tomato grows in Central Australia. The flowers on the plant bloom after the rain and the fruit is ready to eat when the tomato turns to a yellow/brown colour. Local Aboriginal families living in this remote area can then go out and pick the fruit.
Knowing how to identify the food plants and fruits is passed down from one generation to the next. It helps families stay connected to their country.
