ABORIGINAL ARTIST – GRACE BROWN – BUSH TUCKER
Bush tucker is an original aboriginal painting, hand painted on canvas with solid wooden under framing, with the painting itself wrapping around the sides of the frame and is ready to hang.
The traditional Aboriginal style of dot painting depicts the travels of our ancestors and the bush food they ate. Grace was inspired by the inside of the fruits and nuts and the patterns and colours found enclosed inside. She is amazed of the rich availability of many foods you can collect from the bush and around you hidden in trees, shrubs and in the ground. Some are seasonal but many foods can still be found anytime of the year.
The term “bushfood” is one of several terms describing native Australian food, evolving from the older-style “bush tucker” which was used in the 1970s and 1980s. Bush tucker, also called bushfood, is any food native to Australia and used as sustenance by the original inhabitants, the Aboriginal Australians. Examples of Australian native plant foods include the fruits quandong, Kutjera, muntries, riberry, Davidson plum and finger lime. Native spices include lemon Myrtle, mountain pepper, and the Kakadu plum. Nuts include bunya nut and the most identifiable bush tucker plant harvested and sold in large-scale commercial quantities is the Macadamia nut.
Her grandmother taught Grace to appreciate all creatures great and small, and to protect their place in the natural environment, including her country, stories, foods and her aboriginal heritage.
This painting has textured surface with charcoals and deep blues coming through. The traditional dots are painted in a antique gold.
The shapes and the patterns in the artwork form some of the insides of foods eaten by aboriginals and all Australians alike. It also depicts the travels to where these foods are found and meeting places where foods was shared.
