‘Ahakeye (Bush Plum) Dreaming’ by Gary Bird is an acrylic painting on linen, signed and titled by the artist on the reverse.

Gary paints the story of the Ahakeye, also known as the native currant or citrus. This shrub produces small white flowers, deep green citrus-like leaves and the Ahakeye, which are black when ripe and very small. This fruit is favoured for its sweet taste and can be reconstituted in water if dry.

Born in 1983, Gary’s country and stories are associated with Mulga Bore country where he lives and are passed down from his ancestors. His style of painting reflects the work of his brothers and father.
