Rosemary predominantly paints 'Anaty' or 'Bush Yam Dreaming'. Pronounced ung-kiy-ah in Anmatyerre language, Rosemary's leaf-like brushwork represents not only the flower of the bush yam, its creeping stems and underground network of roots and tubers, but also the journey to collect it. As a staple bush food gathered by women, traditional ceremonies are often performed to celebrate the importance of the bush yam, as well as to promote the plant's growth.
