The Harvest Briana Jamieson & Gianna Christella Hayes
KAUKAU is pleased to present The Harvest, a group exhibition between Briana Jamieson & Gianna Christella Hayes.
The Harvest is a series of oil paintings by Jamieson and plant dyed fibres (Plantscapes) by Hayes. Hayes’s Plantscapes are hand dyed with medicinal plants and elements, each piece one of a kind and infused with its own intention.
Jamieson’s paintings are inspired by the plants Hayes works with, the qualities of the Plantscapes and moments of connection with plants, shared during the creative process of this series.
