‘Little World III’ oil on rimu panel. Recently finished but I forgot to take a decent photo, probably the hardest part of these little works is really capturing it in a digital image.

FIRST PLACE:
Hayley Rata Heyes
‘Pylon’
Oil on recycled book cover

“I came across a phrase recently that’s stayed with me; the fragile ordinary. Hayley’s beautiful work—with its exposed spine and imperfect surfaces, its worn and weathered substrate, its frayed edges and quiet community of objects—has stayed with me, too. Exquisitely painted, this beautifully-nuanced painting wears its age and its ‘fragile ordinariness’ on its sleeve. It brings to mind the still-life paintings of Italian painter Giorgio Morandi, expressing as it does a similar sense of tonal subtlety and compositional restraint. While Hayley’s colour palette suggests we might be looking back in time, her fruit tree could burst into blossom at any moment and her vegetables – artichoke, cauliflower, beetroot?--, seem freshly harvested. They speak to me of the poetry that resides in ordinary objects and everyday moments, especially when we approach these things with a kind eye and loving attention. The artist breathes new life into an old and weathered form.”
