About the Artist

Belinda Esperson – Melbourne, Australia

I try to capture the honesty and simplicity of casually collected fragments of the Australian bush – the twiggy scruffiness of curled dry leaves, shards of shedding bark, holes and blemishes made by insects, raw textures and bleached tones, gumnut and seed pod forms – tied on a string as keepsakes with raw beauty and fragility from our natural environment.
