About the Work
It’s
a
quirky
and
poignant
work
and
the
kiwis
on
the
vases
brings
a
smile
to
my
face.
Tibbo
often
used
symmetry
and
mirror-image
techniques
in
her
works,
and
she’s
pulled
it
off
nicely
here.
I’m
sure
there
are
hidden
levels
of
meaning
in
the
work
in
relationship
to
her
father
(it
was
rumoured
that
Robert
Louis
Stevenson
was
Tibbo’s
secret
father,
but
this
has
been
roundly
rejected),
which
adds
to
the
intrigue
behind
the
work.
It’s
worth
a
visit
to
the
Sarjeant
Gallery
to
see
it
in
person.
