STORY
Though Josepha calls these little berries "bush plum" in English, Angkwerrpme is the name for Mistletoe in Josies language. There are many different types of Angkwerrpme in Central Australia, where all but one or two produce edible berries. In this painting Josie paints one that has sweet edible berries that can be found in shades of yellow, red, orange and purple (or black) in their different shades of maturity.
