Cliche Life - Gumnut Babies - 10101, is a nostalgic twist on Australian iconography, merging native textures with pop culture sweetness. Bright jelly baby figures are nestled into rugged gumnut pods, echoing the beloved bush fantasy of May Gibbs, reimagined here with humour, colour, and unexpected candour.
A part of Raymond Mather’s Cliché Life series, this artwork playfully explores themes of cultural memory, nature and nurture, and the innocence of childhood through a contemporary lens. Printed on museum grade archival paper in a limited edition, Gumnut Babies bridges bush poetry and cheeky postmodern still life.
