Artwork Story

Polly paints the conkerberry. In Anmatyerre the conkerberry is called Anwekety. This fruit looks very similar to a plum and is often referred to in English by Polly as a 'bush plum'. In the Dreamtime, winds blew from all directions, carrying the Anwekety seed over Polly's ancestors' land. The first Anwekety of the Dreamings then grew, bore fruit and dropped more seeds. Many winds blew the seeds all over the Dreaming lands.
