Bush Seeds through Country by Violet Samson, 43x54cm

Bush Seeds through Country by Nana Violet Samson is a powerful artwork that showcases her deep connection to her Ngarluma heritage and the land of the Saltwater People. As a Senior Ngarluma Elder, Violet's work is rooted in the traditions and stories of her ancestors, particularly the flora and seeds that sustain life in the harsh landscape of the Pilbara region in Western Australia.

This piece, created with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, depicts the natural beauty and resilience of bush seeds as they spread across the vast, ancient land. Violet Samson began her artistic career in 2007 and has since gained recognition for her ability to convey cultural stories through her artwork, including her use of glass.

Bush Seeds through Country is a testament to Violet’s ability to blend traditional knowledge with contemporary art, earning her a place in the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA).
