Warlayirti Artists, Balgo, Western Australia (accompanied by the certificate of authenticity)
Private collection, Melbourne

This work is part of a collection of glass art created at Warlayirti Artists. Late in 2000 Warlayirti Artists began working in Bullseye coloured glass following the construction of an on-site galss studio. This was an exciting innovation in Indigenous art as Warlayirti Artists was the first Indigenous art centre to work in fused coloured glass.

"Marie has depicted some country north of Balgo and near Purkitji (Sturt Creek). This glass piece tells the story of people collecting kirrang (bush honey) from the hollows of tree trunks. Once a suitable tree is found the trunk is chopped open to allow the honey to pour out."

As stated on the Warlayirti Artists certificate of authenticity
