Still Life - Selected Works

2012
The Natural History Museum of Basel, Switzerland

This exhibition is the final stage of the first part of a Mid Career Fellowship awarded to me by the Department of Culture and the Arts WA in 2012 that entailed a three-month residency at the Natural History Museum of Basel and The Basel Paper Mill, Switzerland culminating in the exhibition ‘Still Life’ held in the Museum.

My time at the Natural History Museum gave me an insight into the way natural specimens are collected and stored. I found the drawers of thousands of objects fascinating in their amazing forms and natural beauty. At the Basel Paper Mill I learned about traditional cotton rag papermaking and developed techniques featured in this exhibition.
