This is a large work, patiently produced by the artist over 3 weeks.
The works in this series are inspired by the artists passion for textiles, the marks represent elements and aspects of every day items. The trigger can be something simple like a fabric, or aspects of a flower such as a banksia, even something as old fashioned as knitting, each mark is painstakingly added to a backdrop of paint layers, taking the work in a completely different direction to it's
original format. This achieves a texture and movement over the background that is as mesmerising as the process is itself.
The abstract composition takes on a landscape of it's own. This work references sky and is full of Lilacs, pinks, and blues, a nod to the season and the jacarandas in bloom. It is far better in reality than in a photo.
This is an emotive work, that evolved during the Covid crisis after many experiments, the quantity of mark making references the impact of every outcome on so many people, and the impact on day to day aspects of life. It is a recognition of how many people have been affected in so many ways.
The technique is very therapeutic, there is order and confusion within the layers of paint and mark making which most can relate to in the state the world is in.
Much is left here for the viewer to interpret the aim is that each and every one feels something relatable in this abstract work.
This body of work moves away from the still life compositions featuring native flowers, and explores the freedom to create using mark making techniques in an effort to create abstract compositions that will resonate with an audience, which takes the artist back to her original art school where these techniques were explored.
The sides are white, but the artist is open to finishing the sides with a specific color should the collector prefer. Alternatively Blue thumb can arrange framing for the collector.
The cost of the work includes the cost of custom packaging to ensure it arrives safely with the collector. Packaging this large work takes a few days or so to ensure it's safe to travel, please be patient.
Thanks for looking.
