Australian Aboriginal acrylic on canvas dot painting, “Honey Ant Dreaming”, Janet Forrester/ Luritja Arrernte, Central & Western Desert / Ernabella.

Honey ants store sucrose in their abdomens making them an important source of sweetness and nutrition for Aborigines in the desert.

Janet Forrester was born in 1936. She started painting in 1980. Since the passing of her husband in 2003, she has devoted most her time to ceremonial and family matters.

Janet paints Dreamings of the Ernabella and Maryvale regions, stories inherited from her mother and grandmother. Her major Dreamings include Snakes, Honey Ants, Sugarbags, Bush Banana, Milky Way, Witchetty Grub and Goanna Stories.
Acquired in September, 2001 in Adelaide, Australia from Adella Gallery.
