Framed Everything I Have Learnt From The Cherry Tree

Marcelina Amelia’s art explores self-acceptance, gender and female sexuality. Both humorous and tinged with darkness, her work plays with juxtapositions.

Everything I Have Learnt From the Cherry Tree is inspired by the tree outside Amelia’s studio window. The piece explores our connection with nature, and reflects Amelia’s practice of ‘Hanami’ –  a traditional Japanese custom of ‘flower viewing’, which involves consciously enjoying the transient beauty of flowers. Amelia comments:

“Like this tree, I am also constantly experiencing rituals of transition, liminal states where something old has to die in order for us to enter a new piece of ourselves.”

This archival pigment ink print with deckled edges is hand-finished with acrylic paint and oil pastel. Every print is hand-coloured, and therefore unique. From a limited edition of 80, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist. 

Please note this piece is framed in a 25mm white box frame with regular glass.
