#12 Ways of Seeing / Ways of Knowing: Banksias with Pods | Leigh Schoenheimer
Oil on Plywood
Height: 41.5cm. Width: 62cm.
A realistic depiction of the still life arrangement sits alongside and meshes with an abstract response to the same subject matter. The side-by-side presentation sets up a dialogue between ‘perception’, (what the eye sees) and ‘interpretation’ (what the mind conceives).
My multi-paneled, still-life paintings investigate ideas around perception and interpretation in image making. By contrast, the sculptures I make are whimsical constructions of found objects. Stories and new meanings are established through these abstract constructions, where the combining of colourful and familiar, found objects often sparks joy.
