These bush flowers grow seasonly in Alyawarr country, some of which are also used in bush medicine remedies.
When I go out hunting, I like to see all the bush flowers that are flowering and then when I come back, I paint them.
The artists of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr (dreaming stories). The artists paint their country where those stories sit.
