Bush Food Celebration by Jessica Sullivan, 32x51cm CAN-RT061JS

The four main concentric circles depict important sacred sites for various bush foods depicted in this painting by Jessica Sullivan. This is where ceremonies for the proliferation of the bush foods are held. Song cycles that follow the journey of these ancestors during the Creation Era are sung during these ceremonies along with body paint. Where you are born determines your connection to the various dreamings.

The smaller circles are the plants and trees from which these bush foods grow. These include bush plums, bush bananas, bush tomatoes and bush apples.

This vibrant, interesting painting is painted close to the edge of the canvas so would be best placed in a frame.
