From essay included with the Certificate of Authenticity:
"Emily uses layer upon layer of various colored dots in this painting to describe the terrain in which she lives. She depicts an aerial view of Utopia, her homeland. Emily says she sees these vivid colors at certain times of the year only when she is in a deep sleep. Which could possibly be astral travelling. Her paintings of these types are basically DREAMING MAPS of her area.
Emily paints with all types of bush tucker in mind, i.e.: kangaroos, lizards, snakes, witchetty grubs, bush plums, yams, etc."
