Indigo works with food and medicine plants at the Wadawurrung nursery when not painting or teaching. About the Artwork The flowers yellow in colour are beautiful to look at and they are a reminder of healthy Country when I see them. I love the name murrnong as the murn meaning hand and the roots when harvested look like our fingers. They taste delicious like parsnip as I learnt whilst visiting ‘Yumbarra’ where I had the opportunity to eat them in a curry. Kalk is Wadawurrung wurru (language) for digging stick used to harvest the root at the right time. I am very fond of this plant as I collect the seed and grow them at the Wadawurrung nursery where I work to gobata (take care) of Country.
