JANE HENZELL : FLOWER PHANTOMS
10 June - 1 July 2005
Presenting lavish new watercolour works, Phantom Flowers draws upon the traditional botanical watercolours of yesteryear but playfully injects the fantastical and the absurd. Anemones are layered over skyscapes, damp green mosses bleed into the oceans- forms are recognizable and unrecognizable morph into one another. Embedded in these works is Henzell's fascination with the epic tales of traditional Japanese landscape painting in which the flowers and plants were observed under lunar transitions. Phantom Flowers similarly evokes both a grandeur and a quietude from super-natural phenomena.
