Ripples in the Open (toy scale)
Inkjet print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm.
Edition of 10, unframed.
Image size 20cm X 85cm
Paper size 30cm X 91cm
Using three paintings by Eugene von Guérard as a base on which to lay our pieces—one depicting the north-west vista of Milford Sound (1877–79) in New Zealand’s South Island and the others representing the sweeping prospects of Mt. Tambo from the Omeo Station, 1862 and Tower Hill (1855) in Victoria, Australia—we have constructed grass plains from wild mangoes, old man banksia (Banksia serrata), a bright call of Tasmanian Christmas bells (Blandfordia nobilis), and the underside of a giant lily pad (Victoria amazonica). We have built a mountain from the leaves of a mosaic fig tree (Ficus parcelli), and another with the heads of black orchids, with thanks to the botanical illustrations of Francis Bauer and Mary Anderson Grierson alongside the plump flowers within the still-life paintings of Willem van Aelst.
