What the centre cannot hold: New work by Madeleine Kelly

In these new works Madeleine Kelly takes images of local flowers and seed pods as a starting point and interweaves them with disparate images drawn from a variety of sources.

The finished paintings present a complex realm where references from mythology, politics and art history intersect with and the artist’s concern for the environment.
