Mary Lindsay Seeds the Bush

Like Mary Lindsay herself these two artworks In Lindsay Beach Park are intended to intrigue … It was well known that Mary Lindsay always carried a salt shaker in her pocket, she used this to scatter wild flower seeds onto her land as she walked. The salt shakers in this sculpture encapsulate Mary Lindsay’s unusual but sympathetic relationship with an environment she obviously loved. Artist Judith Forrest’s salt shakers are in a variety of styles, almost like a hobbyist’s collection. Local plant names have been engraved onto the shakers.
