Bush Medicine Seeds

This luminous piece, “Bush Medicine” by Cheryl Gibson, radiates with life and movement, evoking the healing essence of the desert’s natural plants. The artist’s rhythmic brushwork creates a hypnotic swirl of golden and ochre tones, symbolising the leaves and petals of medicinal plants used by women for generations.

The circular motion at the heart of the composition suggests energy, regeneration, and the cyclical nature of the bush, where every season renews life and knowledge. The use of warm yellows, oranges, and earthy browns reflects both the vitality of Country and the sacred balance between people and land.

Through this work, Gibson captures not only the beauty of the Australian landscape but also the strength of cultural continuity,  where ancient wisdom and contemporary expression meet in perfect harmony.
