The Arrangements:assembling nature
After Hans 2022 Found dairy cow and kangaroo bones, polymer putty, paint, vintage wood and felt stand h 450 x w 430 x d 300mm.
After Hans is my response to the Hans Heysen watercolour, White Gums, painted in 1935, that hangs in the dark oak corner of the dining room. I’ve chosen to use a collection of weathered bones from farm animals and indigenous fauna found and gifted to me many years ago. Assembled as a stand of trees, these bones, reference both the lyrical, ordered chaos of Heysen’s eucalypts, his iconic crisp light and the historical and contemporary land use of Carrick Hill.
