Isabel Morag Miller, Thienny Lee Gallery Edgecliff

I went to this lovely show with Bronwen and her mother, we drove and parked in the shopping centre. In the gallery we looked at the fantastic still lifes on the walls, a riot of bright colours and strange grey shadows.

The works have subtle environmental resonances, some containing renditions of insects and birds caught in a timeless state like creatures in amber. I enjoyed this show very much and vowed to keep an eye out for the artist in future. 

The paintings are oils and very sweet, with each one different in meangful ways. As well as the floral paintings there were othe still lifes out the back, smaller paintings, featuring tableware and fruit. I especially liked a work that shows a little container like something you'd pick up in a roadside bazaar shop in the country.
