Cressida Campbell is among Australia’s most in demand artists. The fruit of labour and time intensive processes, her work is a feat of aesthetic and philosophical beauty – the embodiment of patience. It works with not against time, paying dues to the transience and nobility of everyday life, and the domestic universes we inhabit.

‘Seeds’ is an elegant example of Campbell’s talent. In it, a pair of seeds crest together, surrounded by natural debris. These objects were probably collected on one of Campbell’s many walks, chosen as totems of the natural world, souvenirs from a meditative stroll. Works like ‘Seeds’ are a quiet revelation – a masterful composition that delights with every glance. As the artist says herself, “Art is the best way to restore one’s spirits.”

A master in her field, Campbell is represented across national and international collections, including at the National Gallery of Victoria and British Museum. She is a multi-award winner and the subject of a retrospective at the National Gallery of Australia. For collectors of contemporary art and female artists, prints and still lives, plant ‘Seeds’ in your collection.
