Artwork Description

Photograph on paper

Signed on the front.

This artwork comes with an external frame

The yellow jug, a vintage kookaburra kettle once used to boil water for tea, is now an excellent vase. Imbued with the lives of the people who have held it before me and the very different world it was created in, the jug takes on a persona, perhaps theirs, possibly mine, or maybe, yours. It has its own, intimate relationship with the flowers that it holds and in turn, with the landscape that holds it. The images are allegories of love, lust and loss.

A mid-wide shot of a large body of water. It is misty, almost obscuring the horizon. The upper half of the image has a blue tone from the mist and the bottom half a slightly warmer tone from the sand in the foreground. Although you can see the sand through the water, the water fills the frame edge to edge and down to the bottom of frame. A vintage yellow ceramic jug is partially submerged in the water and is small in the centre of the frame. In the jug are two branches of orange banksia and foliage. One banksia reaches out and bends toward the horizon and out of frame, the other points toward the sand. The jug and the banksia are reflected in the water which has small ripples, seemingly visible only through the reflection.A wide shot of a suburban scene shows part of the seating area at the end of a lawn bowling lane. There is a hedge separating it from the park behind. The image is largely black and white. In the top left, a basketball hoop pokes up behind the hedge. The hoop is coloured orange and an orange basketball is in motion, heading into the net. Above the basketball net hangs a branch of jacaranda flowers. They are blue. In the foreground, within the lawn bowls green is a white bench, a lane number '4' and next to that a vintage yellow ceramic jug with hydrangeas that match the colour of the jacarandas. There is a 1950's yellow picnic chair to the right of the jug and on it's right and toward the back, up against the hedge, is the score board, made of 4 green palings. There are some number cards on a few of the palings and one is falling off.A wide shot of hundreds of wild flannel flowers in the foreground and more in the background. The colours are soft greens and white against dark browns and black shadows. A tree trunk can be seen in the middle distance of the right hand side of frame. A vintage yellow ceramic jug is in the lower third, slightly to the left of centre. It sits small amongst the flannel flowers which tower over and around the jug.A vintage yellow ceramic jug sits to the right of frame on an antique wooden surface which stretches across the lower third of the image from left to right. The only light source is through an unseen window, to the right of the jug. The window is partly out of frame and partly obscured by a white thick cotton curtain. A shadow runs diagonally through the frame from upper right hand side to lower left, throwing most of the upper left corner of the image into darkness. There are no flowers in the jug, however, long, thin, complex strands of zigzag wattle with small yellow balls of flower are loosely wrapped around the jug, both embracing it and forming an impenetrable barrier around the jug. The strands disappear into the shadow, and small balls of dropped wattle flowers are scattered around the jug.
