The Holly and the Brassica celebrates the unexpected beauty of the late-autumn and early-winter garden, where hardy vegetables and festive foliage offer their own forms of seasonal abundance.
Part of the Mu Moue series, the painting brings together botanical imagery, decorative textile traditions, and intricate linework. Against a luminous pale-yellow ground, familiar plants become elements of an ornamental composition, blurring the distinctions between the cultivated and the wild, the edible and the decorative.
Playful and quietly irreverent, The Holly and the Brassica finds pleasure in the unlikely companionship of humble garden vegetables and the traditional emblems of winter.
