Christmas 2007
Yam Seed Dreaming by Jennifer Purvis Kngwarreye
The painting depicts the seed of the pencil yam plant which is a principal Aboriginal food source (bush tucker), gathered by the Aboriginal women from Alhalkere country, Utopia, Aboriginal Art Regions of Central Australia.
Ceremonies include song and dance which are performed by the women to pay homage to the spirit of the yam plant to ensure perpetual germination.
To learn more about song and dance visit Aboriginal Music in our art and culture section or view Aboriginal women dancing - Video Yuendumu women dancing during awelye ceremony in Audio and Video in Aboriginal Art Media.
