Forget flowers—this one’s wrapped in realism. “Mother’s Day” captures a different kind of gift: a Minties wrapper illustration of a mum mid-ironing marathon, dwarfed by piles of laundry. Rendered in meticulous oil paint and framed in an ornate white frame, the lolly becomes a relic of uncelebrated labour, humor, and resilience.
A nostalgic nod to the quiet (and often thankless) work behind the scenes, this piece is equal parts sweet and subversive.
38 x 46cm oil on birch panel, framed in a glossy, ornate frame with a string across the back ready to hang.
