Artwork Description

This work was exhibited in an all female collective exhibition at Waikerie Gallery in South Australia for the South Australian Living Artists Festival 2018. The exhibition "In Her Ruthless Red Romance" evokes a strong affiliation with the symbolism of Red; linking with the ‘red earth’ of Australia, as well as female and natural energy.

My collection has been crafted abroad during my extended study in Vietnam, seeped in themes of distance, creating from memory where images become shadows, and echoes. Imbued with strong connections to the land and nature of Waikerie, and more broadly South Australia, I also reflects deeply on an emotional level, of being disconnected from home. The work bleeds through with longing, nostalgia, and resonates with the raw feminine power of mother nature.

This piece connects not only with the red earth, but also of a divide. The work is painted across two separate pieces of paper, and can be hung together or apart. It connects to the life force that runs in our veins, the enduring but also inherently fragile; the same energy I feel in the land.

Please note the work is sealed with a UV archival varnish, however, I would recommend hanging away from constant strong direct sunlight for the longevity of the piece. Exposure to extreme heat is also not recommended. The piece can be framed at your discretion if you so choose! However it has been tabbed with archival glue top and bottom to hang on wooden dowel to give the piece the best viewing away from glass reflections. After working with this medium for years I think this is one of the best ways to experience the beauty in the subtlety of the piece.

Hand painted and varnished in Saigon, Vietnam. Exhibiting at Rain Moth Gallery, Waikerie, August 5th - September 26th 2018
