Bush Potato Dreaming

The Bush Potato is a tasty, fibrous tuber which grows in the Alhalker region of Utopia. It is of great significance to the Anmatyerr and Alyawarr people of the Eastern Desert region and was an important source of tucker for her parents.

Lisa's colourful vibrant paintings depict the root patterns and foliage of the Bush Potato.
