Polly Ngala paints the Dreaming, Bush Plum. Her paintings depict the changing seasonal influences on a plant that is of great significance to the Anmatyarr and Alyawarr women of the Eastern Desert region.

Utopia is home to two varieties of Bush Plum - Arnwekety and Arrarntenh.

The Arnwekety is a small black current, rich in vitamin C. The small black berry has a sweet taste with a sour pip. Arnwekety can be found at Utopia from March through to May. Arrarntenh is a larger, grape size fruit and ranges in colour from a transparent skin through to light yellows and oranges, maturing into a bright pink or purple.

In this painting Polly Ngala applies layer upon layer of yellows, oranges and reds creating a fusion of colour and an atmospheric surface of movement and depth.
