ABOUT THE ARTWORK

 

2022
Charcoal
Approx. 47 x 62 cm

 

My grandma always kept a lovely garden - full of quaint "cottage garden" plants. The old fashioned variety of freesias were among these. Every year they would emerge, late winter into early spring, in her garden in Melbourne and some would make their way into her home where they would fill the rooms with their glorious scent. A number of years ago, Grandma gave me a handful of freesia bulbs and I have been enjoying the blooms in my own garden ever since. They are even more special to me since my grandma moved on to her heavenly garden. More recently, I cut some freesias from my garden and put them in an art deco vase in my house and produced a charcoal drawing featuring the two. I drew in the main image, blackened the background and rubbed sections back where needed to create the contrasty artwork you now see.

 

This image will be printed on Hahnemühle German Etching paper to best suit the original medium.
