Bush Medicine Leaves

RETURN TOP

Gloria Petyarre depicts "Bush Medicine Dreaming"  the rushing movement of leaves with terse rhythmic brush strokes has been heralded as one of her most successful stylistic developments to date. Gloria utilizes close tonal values of color together with the rhythmic patterning of her brush strokes to imply the movement of a tree's leaves as seen blowing in the wind. The leaves of this tree are an important form of bush medicine, which are gathered by women.

Gloria Petyarre "Bush Medicine" paintings symbolize an abundance of leaves blowing in the wind. The leaves are from the flowering shrub called “medicine bush”. The leaves are treated as a remedy and are used to make medicine to heal any skin complaint including hives, inflammation, irritation spots and cuts, wounds, bites and rashes. It can also be used as an insect repellent. From the medicine bush, women collect the leaves as well as the flowers, the leaves are boiled to extract the resin. The resin of the leaves is mixed with kangaroo fat to make a medicine paste. The flowers are lovely and sweet to eat fresh.
