Totems and bare-ass living on the open plains
Clearly, the image in Step 1 has little to do with Hunter Gatherer's,
or the evolutionary redirection by early man toward agriculture and the farming of animals
It does however represent the beginnings of color and form,
as it pertains to Abstract Automatism and the subconscious development of imagery and theme
