Artwork Story

Nakita paints Bush Medicine Flower. There are different types of bush medicine in the Central Desert. In the 'olden days' the leaves and the seeds of this plant were gathered, ground and mixed with animal fat (today a commercial oil is used) and it is then used as an ointment or boiled in water for medicinal use.

In this painting, Nakita depicts the flower of the bush medicine plant.
