Artwork Description

Photograph on paper

Signed certificate of authenticity.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary...
Even in death Mary’s green thumb lives on as she becomes the fertiliser for her garden. For me that concept of giving back to life so completely is quite beautiful.
After I’d finished the image I got to pondering over Mary and who she was. We both really like gardening, and I can be a little contrary myself…we could have been friends I think. I could make up 100 stories about her. I then got an itch/inspiration to make other flower pictures for other women. Maybe missing women or women who didn’t have a voice in their life…I’m reading madly about the early goldfields at the moment and so many women were lost without their story 🖤

Printed by a master printer, this piece is a beauty for some quiet reflection and visual candy.
