Akarley (Northern Wild Orange)
This radiant work by Lizzie Moss Pwerle tells the story of Akarley, the Northern Wild Orange, a native bush food found throughout Alyawarr Country. A precious resource in the desert, the wild orange is not only valued for its nourishment but also for its deep cultural and ecological significance.
Lizzie’s painting captures the movement and abundance of the fruit through a vivid mosaic of colour. Repeating diagonal blocks filled with intricate linear motifs represent the fruits, their skins, seeds, and the land that sustains them. The work’s layered, rhythmic energy evokes the seasonal cycles and traditional gathering practices of her people.
The use of bold reds, blues, pinks, aqua and ochre tones gives this piece a dynamic presence, blending tradition with contemporary flair.
