Artist Information
Yam Seed (Anaty) Dreaming:
Dolly’s Yam Seed Dreaming symbolizes the yam’s root system spreading in a colourful complex of muted pastel shades. A few months after rainfall, the plant surface will die off, and it takes certain skills by the senior women to find the yam roots. Dolly Petyarre Mills pays homage to the spirit of the yam plant in her ceremonies and paintings so that it regenerates year after year.
