Original acrylic painting on a stretched ready to hang canvas
20 x 20 cm
Featuring a sculpture companion, available for purchase separately.
The STONE POSTCARD series comprises of 15 unique hand-carved Gariwerd/Grampians sandstone maquettes & 7 original paintings.
These pieces have been a long time coming.
Postcards in Stone continues an idea that began last year in India. The postcard as concept, the idea that objects and art can carry moments in time, memory and meaning across distance has stayed with me since travelling to Delhi for the India Art Fair and visiting Jantar Mantar, the ancient Mughal observatory where cosmic knowledge is encoded in stone geometry. Ideas travel. Objects hold what words cannot always reach.
Stone feels like the most timeless and ageless way to do this. It is the oldest material humans have ever reached for to mark, remember and transmit. These 19 hand-carved Grampians/Gariwerd sandstone maquettes and 7 paintings are each a postcard from this place, this moment, this practice. Each one unique, carrying the geometric language and symbols that have been the vocabulary of my work for thirty years, now finding expression in a material I can find at my feet.
These are objects to live with. Talismans. Carriers of memory, narrative and geometry. The paintings place them within my visual world. They make perfect gifts, to yourself or for someone significant. To mark time, to remember.
The maquettes varying in size and price, all pieces are ready to display. For the paintings I am happy to recommend a framer or can arrange framing directly through my own framer, please get in touch to discuss.
I am so happy to see these go out in the world, your purchases will directly support my upcoming residency in Portugal where I will further develop my abilities to work with stone. In this way you become part of the greater journey of my practice.
May you be blessed in your blessing of me.
