“The Dreamtime is the mythological representation of what Aboriginal people carry in their minds. The source of life! This knowledge has not just been planted in their minds, it is taught and structured through initiation and ceremony.” - A.P. Elkin, Professor of Anthropology, 1920’s-1930’s

There are many little black plum-like berries in the Central Australian bush. This particular plum-like berry that Josie is painting is actually a mistletoe (angkwerrpme in Josie's language), and one of just a few varieties that have edible berries; making it an important food source.
Josie's painting explores the ripening stages of these berries through maturity.
After significant rainfall, the desert transforms from an analogous landscape to a panorama of abundant colour and vegetation.
These sweet edible berries change from green to shades of yellow, red and orange before finally a blueish purple (close to black) when it falls from the stem and is collected in bulk.
