I have spent the past weeks working on a new large work, the Mantel Urn (2011), which was on show in Masterworks Gallery's display at the recent Auckland Art Fair. This piece was a major development for me technically, being the largest I have made to date. Its imagery draws from the objects I use in my still life and mantel series', reconfiguring these as 2-dimensional motifs which work as a decorative narrative treatment. I am excited about the possibilities this work opens up, so will be developing the series further in the lead up to my next exhibition.
