Helen Gillen / Women Digging for Witchetty, 2026 #14375-26
30.5 x 61 cm cm Acrylic on Linen
‘Women planning their dig for Witchetty Grubs. They live in the roots of specific trees, and after it rains, they move up the chambers in which they live, to avoid drowning. Digging can be slow and complex. Women check the base of trees to see if there is any cracking on the upper root bases. The cracking is a way of telling if there might be witchetty living in that root. The process can take hours of very hard work, but the ladies are always completely rewarded when they find those witchetty grubs.’
