Roseal Rubuno has painted the Sahuote clan design of udane une, the eggs of the Giant Spiny Stick Insect (Eurycantha calcarata).

The lines that run through the work are known as orriseegé or ‘pathways’ and provide a compositional framework for the designs. The or’e (path) designs are ancient and originate from the time of the Ancestors and relate to the intricate footpaths that run through food gardens and garden plots.
