    Barbara Weir's (1945 -2023) Grass Seed Dreaming (2008). Acrylic on linen.

    Barbara painted the Merne Ntange Ulyawe (native grass) in all the colours of its lifecycle. In this painting she depicts the grasses in vivid greens and blues to portray young grass growing in Utopia particularly after heavy rains.

    The small brush strokes overlap and weave to create a swaying effect similar to the movement of native grass. The small, black, nutritious seeds of the Merne Ntange Ulyawe is an important staple food in the Utopia region, usually ground up to make flour for bread and cakes.
