Bush Bean Dreaming

Lucy Kunoth Kngwarre’s Bush Bean Dreaming is a powerful meditation on abundance, sustenance, and Country. This large-scale work pulses with rhythm, movement, and repetition—each mark echoing the sacred anwekety (bush bean) that grows across Lucy’s homeland in Utopia.

The layered composition of greens, golds, and soft reds maps the life cycle of the bush bean, a vital source of nutrition and a key element in cultural stories passed down through generations. Lucy’s delicate linework and bold colour palette express both the botanical structure and the spiritual resonance of the plant.

This is an immersive and energetic painting—rich in cultural significance and layered with ancestral knowledge. It makes a striking statement in any collection, while honouring the enduring connection between land, food, and dreaming.
