Artwork Description

Object reflects on the subtle ways material things hold our memories. Jewellery becomes more than adornment; it carries the traces of touch and the lives it has accompanied. In this pastel drawing, the object’s weight and shine contrast with the softness of the body, anchoring the figure to something remembered. Object is a study of how the past lingers in what we choose to carry forward.
The artwork is mounted to a cradled board and ready to hang.

Artist Bio

Peta Harvey is a Brisbane-based scientist with a not-so-secret life as an artist. After studying Ceramics at the Australian National University’s School of Art, her creative energy is now focused on developing drawing skills and exploring the freshness and spontaneity of ink and watercolour painting, often in combination with pen or pencil.

Peta exhibits frequently in group shows and has been selected for a variety of curated exhibitions. Most notably, she has been a finalist with her portraits and figurative works in the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize 2022, Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award (2020-2023, 2026) with a Highly Commended award in 2021, Bluethumb Art Prize 2022, and Revival Art & Design Emerging Artist Prize 2023-2024.
