THE FLOWER BEHIND THE COLLECTION
Soft blossom, strong form.
For anyone who knows the south-west Australian landscape, Marri is a familiar presence. Its broad leaves, white blossom and rugged gum nuts are part of the character of the bush itself. There is great strength in the tree, but also a softness and intricacy in the flowers that rewards a closer look.
Meryl Bell’s artistic interpretation captures that contrast beautifully, revealing the beauty in a tree many of us have grown up seeing all around us. Her ability to capture the balance of delicacy and strength gives the Marri Gum collection its quiet, enduring appeal.
