'Can You Peel The Love Tonight' playfully elevates the humble can, celebrating the preservation of peachy produce from across Greater Shepparton.

The Goulburn Valley supplies so much of our nation's produce, including around 90% of Australia’s pears, as well as stone fruit, apples, cherries and grapes, connecting all of the country to this pear-ticularly special part of the world. In this mural the fruit cans of Shep-pear-ton are presented as a larger than life ‘still life’ painting. The ‘still life’ has always been a formative part of my practice, replicating the seemingly mundane ephemera from our daily lives. 

‘Can You Peel The Love Tonight’ is a fruitful celebration of the Shepparton canning community who stick together through thick and tin.
