I inherited this yellow bearded Iris plant from my grandma years ago. Every summer their beautiful bright yellow flowers remind me of my grandma and her beautiful garden.
This is No. 330 (subtitle: Farlight), brand-new spiral-based abstract art from me with subtle details that will reveal themselves when viewed a little larger (click to view). You can find it here: https://jon-woodhams.pixels.com/featured/no-330-jon-woodhams.html
No. 327 is very recent work from me that taps into my "spiral" phase--a space-inspired, whorl-based minimalist-ish work in warm tones of red, orange, and yellow with dramatic lighting. You can find it here: https://jon-woodhams.pixels.com/featured/no-327-jon-woodhams.html
It has been many years since this combination of red poppies and blue delphiniums bloomed in a bed in my garden. In the meantime, other flowers have long since taken their place. The memory is preserved through this watercolor painting.

"Is It Possible to Decolonise a Biennial?" by Manuel Borja-Villel #ArtReview
"Operating under the title Foreigners Everywhere, the 60th Venice Biennale promises to be both inclusive and a gesture towards decolonising one of the world’s foremost largescale exhibitions. But is it possible to decolonise a biennial? Can a decolonising discourse radically transform the institution?"
" I am quite sure that the Venice Biennale will grant visibility to some narratives that have been unjustly silenced, if not repressed. Nevertheless, if the people who produced those narratives are denied the possibility of creating their own frames of reference and cannot determine their own forms of governance, then Foreigners Everywhere will remain once more an empty gesture. Decolonisation is a two-way street."
