Teranie Williams has inherited the legend associated with the place where the bush tomato grows, and as such she is responsible for carrying out the rituals required to maintain the fertility of the site in question.
To give the earth the spiritual strength it needs to support plant growth, the artist and the women of her clan group apply body paint, sing and dance during sacred ‘awelye’ ceremonies, during which the ground is also painted using the dotted line technique characteristic of Central Desert painting. In making this painting, the artist is performing a similar action.
