Artwork Description

Glass on glass

Signed on the back.

Childhood nostalgia is very powerful, especially when you're a kid of the 90's. Free to air TV was still relevant and advertising jingles were incredibly catchy. In the Young family, Vegemite on toast certainly was enjoyed for breakfast, lunch and tea. I find myself leaning on fond past memories during times of difficulty, and haven't the past two years been testing?! This artwork reflects my childhood with it's many different stages, all bright and happy. A combination of blown vessel and sculpture, 'Jar of Nostalgia' is sure to put a rose in every cheek.

Created for 'Pop Mart' exhibition at JamFactory, Adelaide in February-April 2021.
