Ollie Kemmare hails from Utopia in the heart of Australia's central desert, where Aboriginal painting was born in the 1970s. Here, she depicts the dream of the wild plum.

According to this dream, Great Ancestors emerged from the original magma and created a watering place called Arlperre, on the territory of the artist's people, which still exists today.

It was here that the first desert plum trees grew, and the Aborigines still harvest their fruit today. The women who held this fertility Dream celebrated it in ceremonies by coating their skins with emu grease.
Their bodies were then painted by their peers, who used natural pigments whose colors took on those of plums, depending on their stage of ripeness.
