About Artist
Contemporary Aboriginal artist Rhonda Pitjara Jones celebrates the flowering of the bush honey grevillea in this painting. These plants are an important part of their traditional diet and are still enjoyed and celebrated today. The people harvest and consume traditional foods – and to some extent medicines – especially the Elders. The plant is especially prolific on Utopia after the winter rains. The flowers contain thick, honey-like nectar which can be sucked directly from the flowers. The Alywarre people also soak the flowers in water to make a sweet cordial-like drink.
