Ruby Williamson

Ruby is telling the story of the Ultukunpa or Honey Grevillea flower which is a favourite bush food of the Anangu (people) Pitjantjatjara. Ultukunpa grows in the sandy soils of the plains. The flowers can be picked and placed in a billycan of water to create ‘honeywater’ (cordial) or they can be sucked for their sweet honey dew. This painting was exhibited in Desert Mob 2008 at the Araluen Arts Centre, Alice Springs.
