'By Arrangement' was my solo show at CBD for 1996. It was a sculptural piece consisting of arranged flower petals on a bed of sand. This is a very old-fashioned technique that used to happen at country shows - one of the exhibits alongside the vegetables, pickles and decorated cakes - flowers, petals and leaves were arranged in patterns onto a tray of damp sand.
I used the technique as a representation of the patterning that was happening within my paintings. I had a stainless steel tray with legs made, and arranged petals and leaves into a repeated grid pattern. I had to spray it with water every day to keep it alive...
