The Cyclone Collection is now live!
It’s taken some bravery but I’ve done it! I’ve launched my first collection in my first online shop! Now for ironing out all the little issues… I’m definitely living by the ‘progress not perfection’ mantra 😅 so please don’t hesitate to tell me what needs improving when you take a look yourself.
This collection is a series of mixed media works on paper, using watercolour, pencil, charcoal, and collage shapes in contrasting colours to explore the concept of cyclone season and what it means to be ‘under threat’. Yet ultimately I feel like exploration has resolved into a playful, colourful, and joy-inducing works that will bring a little slice of tropical Queensland life into your home.
Mixed media collage on acid-free watercolour A5 paper. Artwork dimensions approximately 18.5cm x 12.5cm.
This work was inspired by a weather map of a cyclone found soon after the last tropical cyclone crossed the Queensland coast. The circular or curved lines, isobars, have a certain visual appeal that belies the destruction and upheaval cyclones bring.
See the initial steps of my creative process here in my last blog post.
These are mounted within their own acid-free, archival white matts, ready to frame. I personally love them in white box frames which give extra dimension and substance to them, without distracting from the vibrant colours.
