The artwork represents leaves from the Pencil yam plant, as well as the seasonal transition changes. Aboriginal women use their digging stick to gather the edible white root, which is a principal food source (bush tucker) for Aboriginal people
from Utopia
in Central Australia.
The women honour the spirit of the yam plant during awelye.
