MARY RUMBLE PITJARA - BUSH MEDICINE DREAMING

Mary Rumble is a senior artist hailing from the Utopia area from the Northern Territory. Mary's auntie Gloria Petyarre and Gracie Morton Pwerle taught her to paint on canvas and over time Mary has developed her own style.

This painting depicts leaves of a special plant that are used for medical purposes. Women go to different places around her country, Utopia, to collect such leaves. Once selected the leaves are boiled to extract resin and kangaroo fat is mixed through creating a paste that can be stored in the bush for extended periods. The medicine is used to heal cuts, bites, burns, rashes and also acts as an insect repellant.
