ROXANNE Napaljarri Collins often paints women’s stories for the Warlukurlangu Artists, at Yuendumu.
As they frequently do, women hunt Honey Ants by finding the paths to the nests. Then they sit with their digging sticks and watch the ants run up the sticks.
Once their sticks are full of ants they are swept into their Coolamons and then eaten for the big sack of honey they carry on their backs.
The many circles in this painting represent the sites searched by the women in the surrounding desert.
