Amwekety (Bush Plum), 2002 by Gracie Morton 152x122cm Cat 7290GM

"Amwekety (Bush Plum), 2002" by Gracie Morton features golden and yellow orbs that symbolize the dreaming path of the Amwekety (Bush Plum) during the creative era. This significant Dreaming is portrayed from an aerial perspective of Morton's traditional country near Mosquito Bore in Utopia, approximately 300 km northeast of Alice Springs.

Reminiscent of her great aunt Emily Kame Kngwarraye's early works, the background lines in Morton's painting are overlaid with delicate dotting. These elements represent the journeys of the Bush Plum ancestors underground during the Creation Era, surfacing at sacred sites for ceremonies.

Gracie Morton hails from an esteemed family of women painters who initially worked with batik before transitioning to painting. Her mother, Myrtle, is one of the famous seven Petyarre sisters, including Kathleen and Gloria Petyarre.
