Artist story:
Maxine Charlie is a Yawuru-Bunuba woman living in Rubibi, Broome. The lirringgirn (soap bush tree) has many uses in traditional Yawuru culture including roasting and grinding the ripe seeds to create a flour, wetting and crushing the green seed pods to form a ‘soapy’ cleaning agent and infusing the bark, foliage and pods to use as fish poison-working to kill the fish by taking the oxygen out of the water.
