STORY
Landscape & when we go out and we see it’s all green where wildflowers been growing. Y’know those wildflowers? Some got honey. And we find the bush medicine as well. We collect from them, collect bush medicine from those plants, y’know? We call it after rain – see it from them changes. See it in the ground, trees, even the flowers. We find sugar bag too there. You seem ‘em in all them trees. Yeah, bees coming out. Sometimes we find bush tuckers as well – when it’s green and ready to pick. When the flowers are coming out. All of them. After rain the land change. That’s why I like doing painting about it. We go hunting around us. Around our home and community.”
