Product Details
"Amwekety (Bush Plum), 2001" by Gracie Morton beautifully captures the rich colours of the Central Australian summer desert. This work is deeply rooted in the Bush Plum Dreaming, a central theme in all of Gracie's paintings, for which she is a senior custodian. Her traditional country is Utopia, located in the Eastern Desert, approximately 250 km northeast of Alice Springs.

Gracie’s painting technique involves meticulous dot work, creating a vivid depiction of the landscape during summer when bush plum seeds scatter across the ground. The Bush Plum is a prostrate plant that bursts into vibrant colour after rain but quickly disintegrates in the intense summer heat. This small fruit, with black seeds, can be eaten raw or cooked into bush damper and is extremely high in vitamin C.

Gracie Morton Pwerle, from the Alyawarre language group, upholds her cultural heritage through her art.

Her surname appears in various spellings (Pwerle, Pwerl, Purle, or Ngale) due to different linguistic interpretations.

Gracie hails from a renowned family of women painters, including her mother Myrtle and great aunt Emily Kngwarreye. This rich artistic lineage is evident in Gracie's work, which vividly reflects the beauty and cultural significance of the Bush Plum Dreaming
