Fragments of the natural world are gathered and held within quiet structures, where movement is paused and form is preserved. Referencing histories of collection and display, these works sit between beauty and restraint.
Memories of childhood, fragmented, beautiful culturally diverse and of home -
Japanese sashimi of blue and white plates and Earl grey tea.
International shipping available.
Original paintings - raw pigments on linen
Collected throughout the Northern Territory, they tell the story of a life lived in the dirt, in wild places.
Working with raw pigments, Bond applies and disrupts the surface by hand, using pressure, scraping, and abrasion to create each mark. The works hold a physical record of gesture, where material and body meet.
