This painting tells a story about the yellow, orange and black honey ants that live underground. The curved shapes represent the women sitting on the ground with their digging sticks beside them and a coolamon bowl used in the old days for gathering food in to.
The grey area is where the honey ants are living under ground. The ants are very sweet and a treat when you find them in the bush. The other colourful dots are the flowers that bloom above ground in the desert.
