Artwork story: Winifred has painted a food story. Lukarrarar is a small, sought after seed, traditionally collected by women to grind up for making flour. It is found in abundance at certain times of the year, often in conjunction with another popular food, karnti, or bush potato. The dotting overlay depicts this abundance of bush food, karnti or bush potato, while behind can be seen the shapes of the women getting the food.
