Sphaeraflora series

2024 · Olsen Gallery

This series explores the tension between my Western artistic heritage and the Australian landscape. By blending elements of Dutch still life and 16th-century globes with the vibrant colors and textures of Australian flora, I create a dialogue between historical and contemporary perspectives on nature. The spherical format, reminiscent of Renaissance globes, symbolizes the ever-evolving ways in which art reflects and influences our understanding of the environment.
