Textile Design Stories:
Design: Mejerren (black plum)
Artist: Anita Churchill
Mejerren (black plum) grows from a large tree found around the hill country. It produces a small, sweet fruit in the wet season that’s popular bush food.
Design: Gerdewoon Thon Malin (boab & water weed)
Artist: Dora Griffiths
The leaves of the Gerdewoon (boab) tree appear at the start of the wet season and are shed at the end of the cold (dry) season. They’re high in iron and can be eaten raw, like salad, made into pesto or cooked like spinach in other dishes. Thon Malin (water weed) is eaten by the fish in the waterways and helps them grow so they can then be caught for food for people.
