Fashion, interior design, and art are seamlessly intertwined in the work of Grace Butterfield. Colour, form, and texture hold equal significance in still-life compositions, meticulously crafted suits, and curated living spaces. Driven by a profound love for exploring the world, Grace is captivated by the often-overlooked details—the subtle interplay of colour, form, and texture, and the composition of everyday scenes. Each piece reflects this fascination, drawing inspiration from interiors, objects, and the spaces we inhabit. Through her work, Grace seeks to illuminate these often-overlooked elements, transforming them into a visual dialogue that invites viewers to see the beauty in the ordinary.
“I am drawn to colour, form and texture, and still life scenes seem to provide me with a never ending array of exactly this. I get excited about the colour of a lemon or texture of a linen tea towel and it is these simple but beautiful everyday things that get me started. I love beautiful things. Often handmade, and I find joy in navigating a balance between objects, colour, form, and texture.
‘Tablescapes’ is Grace’s third exhibition at Michael Reid. In 2022, Michael Reid Northern Beaches Gallery, ‘Grace’, sold out which was followed by her exhibition ‘Home’ in 2023 at Michael Reid Southern Highlands Gallery.
