Gabriella Possum Australian dot painting

Women are the primary food gatherers in Aboriginal society. It is their responsibility to keep track of food sources, such as bush wheat, bush plums and honey ants. They travel regularly to locations of these sources where ceremonies are performed to propitiate the spirit and energy of the ancestors. This painting portrays the geography of the gathering area and the gatherers as they harvest honey comb contents from the wild bee hives. Various symbols and colors represent the terrain as viewed from above, the perspective from which the work is painted.
