This vibrant painting celebrates Yultukunpa, the honey grevillea, a much-loved bush food traditionally known as “bush lolly” for its naturally sweet nectar. Found flourishing in the sandhills shortly after the rains, this delicate yet hardy native plant has long been cherished by First Nations people for both its sustenance and cultural significance.

The artwork is inspired by the artist’s mother’s Dreaming, which is deeply connected to the landscape west of Kintore. Through intricate patterns and earthy hues, the painting reflects the vitality of Country, where seasonal rains bring renewal, and the land bursts into life. The dot work and flowing lines symbolise the movement of water through the sandhills, the blossoming of Yultukunpa, and the continued connection between people and the natural world.

This piece is more than a visual representation—it is an expression of living knowledge, honouring the artist’s maternal lineage and the traditions passed down through generations. The depiction of Yultukunpa serves as a reminder of the deep reciprocity between land and people, where the gifts of nature are respected, understood, and celebrated.

With its rich storytelling and intricate design, this painting not only captures the beauty of the honey grevillea but also embodies the strength and continuity of First Nations cultural heritage.
