Emma Bass - Peony with Fly

This artwork is from 'Open', Bass' first solo exhibition with Mr Minty’s, held in September 2021.

'Open' features a selection of flower portraits that celebrates our process of learning to live with and through the pandemic. We have all experienced loss; of life, freedom and certainty. However, we can celebrate yet because the pandemic has brought the unexpected gift — if we choose to cultivate it — of openness to accepting life as it is, and discovering new ways forward.

Bass says, “My compositions are a dance between my intent and what nature wants to do. As I get older, I try not to expect predictability because life is not like that! Life unfurls and life ends; I see this happen on the branch of a single tree, nature shows us how to feel inspired about life’s complexities and possibilities and how to become more open and to wonder at the unexpected.”
