Flax Field

Flax Field is part of the Last Summer body of work that invites the viewer to contemplate the transient nature of summer holidays and how holiday memories may be a construct of the ‘ideal’.

Inspired by an empty plot found in Coromandel Town, next to a popular holiday spot, that is now overgrown with flax and sprawling plant life.

Painted with oil paint & oil pastels on canvas. This is the original artwork, measuring 51x 77 cm. Sides of the canvas are painted a deep blue which compliments the painting.

The artwork comes in an oak floating frame (as pictured). This frame sits away from the stretched canvas, with a 5mm gap, giving the illusion of floating separately from the artwork. The frame makes the artwork 4.5cm deep.
