Jacaranda Pod

Artist - Liz McAuliffe

I’m loving the tones of Jacaranda Pods. Seeds themselves are, for me, the ultimate vessel for life. Seeds are “where it all starts”, a complete store of all the information needed to engender growth toward full realisation of the individual. Seeds as a vessel, conjure for me an image or form encapsulating potential, abundance and vitality.

The new Canvas/Wire series comes from a desire to push the 2D boundary. These works sit closely at the intersection between 2D and 3D, being cut canvas it is flat .. then with wire and hanging points to hold it out from the wall, giving movement and shadow. Form, surface and shadow are an integral part of my artworks.
