Pattern/Spell ... Pattern is part of an ongoing love letter to the synesthetic connections found in the patterns and colours of the clothes we wear. Drawing from a life-long obsession with vintage dresses and the wardrobes of loved ones, Mel paints cross-sections and up-close examinations of patterns and fabrics using acrylics and inks. Spell is a call to the little witch in all of us. From her earliest memory, Mel has made connections between vessels, nature and the power of focused intention. Take a peek into a collection of mystical objects, bottles and potions - a potent and hopeful invocation of love, joy and female power.
