Creating works based on her Indigenous culture and Dreamings, Anjurra (sacred grass) expresses the importance of the grass Aboriginal Peoples used in various cooking methods. Please read some insight on the sacred grass below:

The grass is important to the Aboriginal people because its seeds were ground up to make flour. The seeds fell to the ground and were difficult to see, so the Aboriginal people would seek the nesting site of a particular ant. This ant would eat a certain part of the seed, then discard the rest and the remains would be found in a pile outside their nest. The women would collect the seeds, then clean and grind them into flour and use it to make bread.
