Flowers for Oberon ( exhibition March 17-26 , 2017, Castlemaine State Festival)
“ I love flowers for their treachery
their fragile bodies grace my imagination’s avenues
without their presence my mind would be an unmarked grave
~Etel Adan~
Oberon was my Burmese cat, my muse.
He died from renal failure after ingesting lilies given to me at the opening of my first exhibition.
Positioned between adornment, object and the performative, my new work explores this story:memories of love and death; beauty and betrayal;foolishness and folly.
