Bush Plum: The Contemporary Art of Angelina Pwerle

The film Bush Plum is a contemplation of the work and country of Angelina Pwerle a visual poem, capturing the imagery and connection between painting and country.

Central Australia is a place of extraordinary power and beauty, the art from this place is a mirror, a spiritual reflection of beliefs, of culture, of country, of its plants and animals. For Angelina, her bush plum dreaming paintings reflect 'the whole thing, all of country'.

In 2011, Angelina Pwerle took part in an exhibition E(merge): two spiritualities. This extraordinary exhibition brought together two artists from two very different cultures, Angelina and Hu Qinwu, in the Space Station Art Gallery in Beijing's 798 Art District.

The exhibition then came to Canberra where it was shown at the Drill Hall Gallery. This film was shown as part of the exhibition.
