Artist Information
Jessie’s Dreaming is Awely (Body Paint). In her paintings, she symbolizes all that is associated with Awely - the decorated torsos of the women, the women's ceremonial sites or dreaming places where women have gathered and the other representations of the ceremony – digging and music sticks, coolamons and feather adornments. Her paintings depict different body designs which are painted on the women’s breasts, arms and shoulders. She paints these designs from an aerial perspective. Bush Honey Grevillea features her homage to the ancestral being from whom the plant originated.
