A close relative of the women artists who made the Utopia school famous, Abie Loy Kemarre has created a spectacular work here.
‘Bush Leaves’ was dictated to her by religious imperatives: this plant is linked to a sacred territory for which Abie Loy and her family are responsible. By staging it, she is demonstrating her ritual ‘ownership’ of the site where the plant grows; she is fulfilling a duty to remember, since it was her ancestors who created the place. The plant, which grows in the summer months, is also a symbol of fertility in a region where the climate is often arid. This canvas bears witness to the reality of this fertility, ensuring it for the future.
