Roses and Ivy

These works explore the marks we leave on the places we inhabit, and the traces of other lives that we encounter and carry with us.

Ancient walls, weathered surfaces, abandoned buildings and contemporary graffiti hold evidence of the people who have passed through them. Over time, one person's mark becomes part of somebody else's experience; another layer in the stories we carry forward.

This artwork began with the human touch that made me stop.

I photographed it because of that trace. Someone had taken the time to lay their story down. It may have been an act of rebellion or artistic endeavour, or simply that very human desire to leave something of ourselves behind.

Whatever the reason, their mark remained after they had gone. It made me pause. I found it beautiful and intriguing, and I carried it home with me.

In the studio, I constructed florals that felt in tune with what I had found, bringing the two together in the final composition.

We leave our marks behind, and other people pick them up. They become part of what we see, what we remember and what we carry forward.

Statement Piece

Strictly Limited Collector Edition

Archival pigment print on smooth cotton rag.

Each Statement Piece is produced in a strictly limited edition, with the edition size and remaining availability specified for the individual artwork.

Presentation

The artwork is mounted to archival foamcore and float-mounted within a timber frame, creating a subtle shadow gap around the work.

A warm dark timber is the artist’s selected presentation. Alternative timber finishes are available by request, allowing the framing to be considered in relation to both the artwork and its intended interior.

Glazing

Artglass UV-protective glazing is available for Statement Pieces delivered within the Greater Brisbane and Gold Coast area, and for works framed in New Zealand.

For Australian works delivered outside this area, an alternative professional glazing specification will be arranged according to destination.

Edition Marking

Each Statement Piece is hand-signed and individually numbered according to its edition, and carries the artist’s embossed studio stamp.

Authenticity

Each work is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording the artwork and edition details.

Once the edition is complete, no further prints will be produced within that edition.

Statement Pieces are individually produced and professionally framed to order.

Each work is carefully packaged for safe transport and delivered ready to hang.

Complimentary shipping within Australia and New Zealand is included in the artwork price.

Please allow approximately 21 business days for printing, framing and preparation prior to dispatch. Delivery times vary according to destination.

Tracking and delivery details will be provided once your artwork is ready for dispatch.

For international collectors, please contact the studio to discuss availability, framing and delivery.

Each Statement Piece is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the artwork title, edition number, dimensions, medium and year of creation.

The certificate provides a permanent record of the work and its place within the limited edition.

Together with the artist’s hand signature, individual edition number and embossed studio stamp on the artwork, it establishes the provenance of the piece for its collector.

Your Statement Piece has been professionally framed for long-term presentation and should be handled with care.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture and high humidity. Display indoors in a stable environment and avoid positioning directly above heaters, fireplaces or in damp areas.

To clean, gently dust the frame and glazing with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and do not use cleaning products on the glazing or frame.

When moving your artwork, handle it carefully by the frame. For larger works, two-person handling is recommended.
