Despard Gallery is very proud to present the inaugural solo exhibition All The Pearls by emerging Tasmanian artist Maggie Jeffries.
Inspired by the gardens and bushland in which she spent time as a child, Jeffries explores the emotive language of plants through painted botanical arrays. Jeffries recognises the important connection between plants and nostalgia, reinterpreting sites of personal significance by collaging multiple images to create compositions that depict memories and her enduring fascination with botanical subjects. Through this process she communicates her connection to significant sites from her past and how they translate to her current experience in the natural world today.
