Bright Paradise

Inspired by a recent move to Gayamaygal country near the NSW coast, the Bright Paradise collection documents the native and introduced flora in the artist’s local environment.

Valentine reimagines these lush environments in intricate compositions, flattening pictorial space and bringing botanical detail forward to the plane of the viewer, reminiscent of Japanese woodcuts and Pacifica textiles.
