Spring Time Flowers
5 Painted wood panel pieces created for an exhibition at RVCA Gallery in Collingwood, September 2017. Here’s my spiel on them:
Spring-time in Melbourne is that brief spell when we don’t complain that it’s too cold anymore; just before we start complaining that it’s too hot. As nature comes alive again, so do we, and we’re seduced by the optimism reflected in colourful buds all over the streets. These are 5 bunches of your every-day, cheap and cheerful, super-market-checkout, hospital-kiosk flowers. To me, their wrapping is just as attractive as the bunches themselves.
