A Painting about a Bedspread

2004

Awarded a Merit Award at the Brett Kebble Art Awards in 2004

The source material was an inherited, embroidered bedspread and the work was characteristic of Findlay's foregrounding of individual memory, nostalgia, decoration and domesticity. These associations are referenced through the floral wreath and title but are counteracted by her vigorous use of paint and colour which assert the importance of the painting as a painting independent of any descriptive function.
