Don’t worry about the snakes comprises nineteen oil paintings on both linen and canvas by Yvonne Mill-Stanley, the latest iteration of the artist’s fascination with her longstanding subject matter, grass.
The exhibition invites us to walk through the “lush green grass” of Mt Glorious, down the other side of the mountain “to the open pastures” around the Somerset and Wivenhoe areas and beyond. Dreams and memories inform these ethereal works, which appear almost in motion, swaying and rustling in the mountain breeze, growing and changing colour through the seasons.
