STORY
This work derives from Men's body paint designs and the subject of men's business.

Lindsay's background dot work often represents the different stages in the life of the Mulga seed and Mulga fruit. Colour can indicate the raw, ripe and dry. In  very prolonged drought times subsistence often fell back on the mulga tree. Even without a rain, it could be relied on to produce seed which in turn could be  ground and made into damper.
