This artwork depicts yam seed, which is a stable bush tucker gathered by the artist and her community of Utopia in central Australia.


The Yam seed is celebrated by the Utopian women in their Awelye aboriginal dictionary button ceremonies. Through song lines and dance cycles they pay homage to ensure perpetual germination.
