Part of my solo exhibition ‘Indefinite’ at Pataka Art + Museum, Porirua from December 18th 2020 - January 31st 2021.
Like all the paintings in this exhibition, the colour palette for this one comes from my immediate surroundings. I have some Sedum plants in my garden, and in early summer the buds are just this shade of pale pink, with pale greyish green leaves - all fresh and new and bursting with promise.
Quite often I use the same shape of board for several different paintings, playing with achieving a different perceived three-dimensional form within the same outer shape. Sedum Blocks is one of those variants - it is the same outer shape and size as Three Eggs and Remission.
