Artwork Story
Gary paints the story of Utnea (carpet snake) and the seed of the Mulga Tree, called Ntang Artety. Ntang means seed in Gary's language, and Artety is the word for Mulga Tree. This is a very important story for Gary that belongs to his country, Ilkawerne (El-go-an-na). The mulga seeds are an important plant food throughout Central Australia, usually available to collect for several months of the year.
Gary depicts Utnea slowly making his way through the country as shown by the wavy line. Background dot work represents the colours of Ilkawerne (El-go-an-na) country.
