Kathleen Nanima Rambler – Awerle Anatye (Yam Plant)

When I go visit my family this is where I see the big cream coloured bush tomatos, pink desert roses and goannas running across the road.  All along the road is a sea of desert roses. The secret yams grow under the ground, you follow the cracks in the dirt and this is where you find the ripe yams.  The secrets of the earth we call them.

The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr (dreaming stories). The artists paint their country where those stories sit.
