A series of hand built porcelain
sculptures inspired by the 73% endemic
species out of the 681 Proteaceaes
found in the South West region of WA.
The work further explores the themes
and issues raised during O’Meehan’s
recent solo exhibition, DefenceDefiance
at Goolugatup Heathcote. A speculative
interpretation of the inevitable
evolution of the landscape and
vegetation, forced into action by harsh
human interference. Although a dark
and morbid reality, O’Meehan suggests
the aggressive reaction is more a
hopeful form of self-defence by the
‘slow movers’ of our natural
environment.
