STORY

Seed Dreaming - Patanjarngi (Slender Pigweed) Kangaroo Food
This artwork is about the seeds kangaroos ate. People also ate this food. Patanjarngi (Slender Pigweed) is a plant that has the water. The flowers stand straight up and is broad. It has a fluffy flower which is red or grey. Animals like cows, camels, kangaroos and turkeys eat this flower. The animals eat this flower because it contains the water inside. That’s how the bush native animals survive in the desert.
