This exhibition celebrates the dynamic work of Jeannie Mills Pwerle, an Alyawarre woman from the Utopia region of Central Australia. Jeannie paints the Anaty (Desert Yam or Bush Potato, Ipomoea costata), pronounced 'a-NA-che', story from her father's country, Irrweltye, carrying forward important cultural knowledge through a style that is both deeply traditional and distinctly her own.

The Anaty grows underground as a nourishing tuber, while a viny shrub rises above ground up to one metre high. Found on spinifex sand plains, it produces large pink flowers after summer rain, transforming the desert landscape with vibrant colour. The tuber is a staple bush food for desert Aboriginal people and may be harvested year-round, with some growing as large as a person's head.
