Anwekety (Conkerberry)
Natasha paints the conkerberry (dot work) and her designs are also influenced by the flower and leaf of its plant, and tracks to and from the plant. In the Dreamtime, winds blew from all directions, carrying the anwekety seed over Natasha's ancestors' land. The first anwekety of the Dreamings then grew, bore fruit and dropped more seeds. Many winds blew the seeds all over the Dreaming lands.
