Erica van Zon, Peppermint Twist

With the colour green acting as a starting point for a year-long project, Erica van Zon has created a shimmering visual landscape that riffs off her personal experiences and interactions with the world.

Peppermint Twist is a playful yet sophisticated example of van Zon’s enjoyment of the hand-made, with her materials of choice being embroidery, beadwork, tapestry, photography and textured glass. From 90’s Wellington architecture to emerald palm leaves to plump avocados, Peppermint Twist is a collection of chromatic narratives tied together by their formal qualities.
