Additional Information

Original artwork. Oil on gallery wrapped canvas by Melody Smith

Every lady’s home in Australia used to have a little china cabinet. Usually with a mirrored back and several glass shelves. They were filled with precious Stuart crystal sherry glasses and shiny little porcelain ornaments of cats and flowers and other family heirlooms. Many of them probably had one of these shiny lustre ware fishes. The items in these cabinets were probably never used but they had pride of place in the living room.

In this little vignette a lustre ware fish, a lady’s fancy glove and a mercury Christmas bauble, all relics of our domestic past, are immortalised against a backdrop of mirrors and pink plastic, bathed in pink light.

This work is part of a larger series of work exploring the nostalgia of Australian domestic life through illuminated still life paintings reminiscent of the glass cabinets heirlooms and precious collectables are often kept in.
