CreatorRay RixonTitleCanopyDate2010MediumAcrylic on canvasDimensionsH. 122cm x W. 92cmArtist StatementThis was first large painting in a series of Pandanus paintings, created after exhaustive research and 2D/3D studies in a range of media on site.
This particular tree survives on the dynamic tidal edge at the protected southern corner of North Sapphire Beach. I meditated beneath and beside this tree, pre-dawn for 20 years.
First exhibited at Grafton Regional Gallery in a collaborative show with ceramicist Phil Greed, titled 'Pandanus Tectorius', 'Canopy' was a springboard for not only larger works in the show, but provided material for 7 subsequent exhibitions based on the habitat of this tree.Accession Number069.2017Credit LineDonated by the artistAccess AdviceFor research purposes only.
