A quirky little number about eclipses. Working on round paintings is an interesting challenge. We are so used to square and rectangles, but actually, round paintings are very flexible and can fit in most spaces.
When I began the painting, I had just witnessed an eclipse of the moon. There is a moment when the shadow lies perfectly across it's surface, creating a crescent. Something about seeing eclipses activates my fascination with the way we might see things - and by that I mean our world views, values, realities etc, not just physical things.
This is an intuitively created painting keeping just three colours in play to contain the contents. The shapes are shadowy and evocative of all sorts of phenomena. The more you look, the more you will see.

Do you ever look at your lover/friend/family member and think how did we end up together? It's not a bad thing, it's just that all relationships have friction at some point. I originally began this work around the Roe Vs. Wade judgement, feeling like the gulf between (some) men and women was bigger than ever. Then it evolved, the way drawings and paintings do, into a quest about identity. I mean who are you who thinks you can tell me what to do with my body, my life? I guess he's a bit angry looking, but she is not backing down.

The search for identity and wondering, "who am I”, is, it seems, never ending. This drawing is inspired by an encounter I had with a mysterious being whilst meditating. Yup, do enough meditation and weird stuff happens.

I've made a number of ceramic "cakes" using the symbols from some of my paintings as the decoration on the top. As a ceramic piece, they are like gift boxes of various sizes, and have been very popular.
Reversing the process, I decided to paint them as slightly surreal still life paintings. This is the fourth so far.The fish relate to my love of seeing them swimming in the ocean. Here I have put them on top of a large chocolate cake with butter cream filling and white icing. They are a folly of course. Hope you enjoy.
Currently the edges are painted in white gesso. This could be changed if you prefer, but otherwise it will arrive with a crisp white edge (which I thought picked up the icing quite nicely).
It has D rings and is ready to hang.
Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Purchasing from Susannah Paterson:
Shipping within Australia is included in my prices. Any painting under 105cm goes via Australia Post, while for bigger works I usually use Moving Art, a professional art courier. Be aware that they do take a little longer to deliver, but do a great job in ensuring the work doesn’t get damaged in transit.
For overseas shipping, I usually ask for an extra $150, depending on the size. I typically take the painting off the stretcher bars and send it rolled in a tube.
I am usually able to ship within a couple of days of receiving your order, unless I’m away, but I do like to get them off ASAP.
I do not offer framing, however some of my paintings are framed and that is clearly stated. If you would like to frame the work, I recommend Mobile Framing.
I do not allow returns unless the painting is damaged in transit.
