NEW in store. This painting depicts women collecting spinifex grasses to weave baskets. As a child Coral remembers sitting on rocks along the banks of the Murray River with her Mum and Aunties teaching the girls weaving. The baskets they had done were left there when they went to eat and then sleep. In the morning, they found all the baskets had floated down the river.
