As I plan the garden of my new home overlooking Mt Buller, I collect seed from red gum, yellow box, sedge and callistemon. Cuttings line the back porch. The promise of acres of wildflowers in my drought tolerant garden captures my imagination.

A shadow play of light casts dancing botanical patterns on the wall. Different densities of light pass through the growth of the native shrubs.

Capturing this fleeting, lacy imagery has evolved into a new body of work. Wheel thrown, open vessels catch the light and I have tried to recreate this layering of flora. Many of the pieces have been double etched, on the interior and exterior of the form. Other pieces are extensions of my visual diary, bearing sketches of wildflowers, in all their unique variety.

A new body of work for Wendy Jagger, Wildflower is a series of double-etched southern ice porcelain vessels which is inspired by the Australian native flora at her property near Mt Buller.
