The painting depicts a topography referring to the various stages of the Bush plum (arnwekety). The fruit from this Australian native plant is gathered by the Anmatyerr women from Utopia in Central Australia. The white dots represent the tracks.
The women also pay homage to the spirit of Bush plum in their ceremonies to ensure perpetual germination.
The plant produces white flowers followed by berries. When ripened the berries; also known as native currant or black currant turn from purple to black. These fruits are edible and taste sweet and is a staple food source (bush tucker) for the Aboriginal people.
