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.
