Taking Shape

Following on from the Copa Abstractions: Weekly Art Quilt Project, I set a new challenge for 2018 – Taking Shape: Cues from Nature. Each month, I created a 50x50cm abstract composition drawing my inspiration from nature with a focus on shape.

Integrifolia #1: Weathered
MAP #2: Morning Glory
MAP #3: All Ears
MAP #4: Paradise Lost
Fortitude
MAP#6 Waving
MAP#7: Lantana
MAP #8: Crest
MAP #9: Seastar
MAP #10: Umbrella
MAP #11: Jacaranda Blue
MAP#12: Birds on a Wire

 

I acknowledge that I live and create on the land of the Darkinjung and Guringai people and recognise their continuing connection to this place. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all First Nations people.
