- Artwork story
- In this painting, Abie depicts the leaves of the antywerleny shrub (Acacia tenuissima). Anmatyerre people in Central Australia crush the leaves, mix them with animal fat and use them as a medicinal ointment. Her canvas captures the dynamic movement of the bush leaves in the desert breeze.
