Rosalind Langford Bitja Mukaga (Fire Reeds) 2012
Acrylic on Galacia linen 1200 x 900mm $4500
Ros has painted imagery concerning the craft of basket making using fire reeds as the main fibre. These reeds are found
often growing in water holes. The women would wait until the red colour in the reeds had developed well before harvesting.
They were then stripped and used for fashioning gorgeous coloured baskets.
