“This series of acrylic mixed media paintings explores the enduring charm of mid-century design through a contemporary, botanical lens. Inspired by the bold patterns, organic shapes, and playful geometry of the era, each piece weaves together stylised floral forms with layered textures and expressive mark making.
Drawing from a personal archive of vintage ephemera — including tea towels, sewing patterns, and printed textiles — these works celebrate the quiet beauty of everyday design. Fragments of pattern and fabric-like motifs are reimagined through paint, creating compositions that feel both nostalgic and fresh.
Through the interplay of colour, repetition, and texture, the collection reflects a tactile, intuitive process. Surfaces are built up and reworked, echoing the history and materiality of the source objects, while inviting the viewer to discover subtle details within each layer.
Together, the paintings form a botanica collection that honours the past while embracing a modern sensibility — a dialogue between memory, pattern, and the natural world.”
