AMAZONIAN WATER LILY

Winner of the Craft NSW Emerging Artist - Craft Minor Award 2014

This piece is inspired by the underside of the amazonian water lily, Victoria amazonica. I was drawn to the radiating support structure of the lilypad and the stunning deep purple to lime green colouring of the underside of the leaf.
