About Artist

Her honey ant paintings are characterised by an aerial perspective of the hundreds of bloated patterned bellies of the honey ants. (Yerramp) Dreaming: The Honey Ant is considered a delicacy by the Utopian women. The women search the country for the nests of honey ants and then dig holes to extract them. They collect the ants in their coolamons. In her paintings Audrey Morton depicts the various nests of the honey ants.
