About Wildflowers

Wildflowers was named a finalist in the Bay of Fires Art Prize 2026 This work was created during a time of prolonged stress, trauma and pain within my family. It became a way of holding grief and hope at the same time. The piece was inspired by desert landscapes after rain. After long periods of drought and harsh conditions, the desert suddenly erupts into colour and wildflowers. A reminder that resilience can quietly exist beneath the surface long before beauty becomes visible. Woven from reclaimed silk, wool and cotton fibres, the work traces emotional terrain through texture, colour and shifting form. Like country healing after drought, it speaks to survival, renewal and the possibility of growth after difficult seasons.
