about this painting:   Dolly’s painting depicts both the grass seeds – the main source of bush tucker for the emu – as well as its track marks and grid patterns as the Emu roams over the country in search for food. The Emu is a prized form of tucker itself and the food to sustain this bird an important part of Dolly’s dreaming. Dolly Petyarre Mills uses a delicate dot-patterning technique with a broad palette creating beautiful kaleidoscopic bands of colour across her canvas.
