Nationale shows Oh Deeear Mee by Amy Bay.
"Many of the paintings begin with simple flower-like shapes that gather within crowded fields. Bay draws loosely from historical decorative sources—particularly French domino papers and early English wallpapers—but treats patterns as flexible rather than fixed. The compositions move between ornamentation, landscape, and abstraction, while suggesting social arrangements that take on a sense of companionship."
