A vase featuring the pairing of a flowering banksia - drawn from 18th century botanical illustrations - with two soft toned rosellas facing downwards as if in mid farewell. Painted in a consciously pale palette the work speaks to the quiet disappearance of native beauty in the face of environmental degradation. What once thrived in abundance is now rendered with fragility - not gone, but fading.
