{Suite} Gallery is pleased to present ... Immortally Yours by Fiona Pardington, featuring six works made recently while the artist was in Paris completing a Laureate Artistic Creations Project with the Musee du Quai Branly.

“I bought the flowers at the Porte de Clingancourt flea market in Paris and photographed them where I was staying in Rue des Levis, Villiers, Paris, in May this year.

The flowers were remnants from an estate of a milliner who had died at an advanced age. They were in a plastic bag, squashed under a whole lot of old books and ephemera up one of the side streets at the markets. I had been researching a museum collection in Paris of haute couture hand made flowers. When I got to Paris I was unable to access the collection because the museum was being moved out of the city. I went looking at Porte de Clingancourt for the most part of a day as I had a feeling I could find something. At the last moment before I left I found them. I steamed and shaped them over a pot of boiling water and photographed them on a table in the lounge room.”
