“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

At almost 40 years of age, Naomi Pwerle is Anna Price Petyarre's eldest daughter. From an early age, she watched her mother and other women of her community paint their Dreaming stories. During this time, dot work featured heavily in Utopia art.
In this painting, Naomi is recreating one of her mother’s most in-demand styles of the late 90’s; derived from a vision of the pencil yam root system beneath the ground, and its seed.
The seed of the pencil yam is one of its most important attributes which Naomi illustrates with dot work. This seed is called Kame, most famously recognised as the bush name of Emily Kame Kngwarreye.
