It’s Now or Never…Caladenia audasii- is a multi-layered work that highlights themes around commodity, the landscape and the female body.
Looking at one of Australia’s most endangered spider orchids, found now only in Victoria- Caladenia audasii- like many plant species has become threatened due mainly to habitat destruction or its’ commodification.
Within nature sex is seen as commodity for the proliferation and survival of species. This particular Australian Orchid has adapted to attract the male thynnid wasp. Through the deception of colour, form and mimicked pheromones, it poses as a female wasp.
Simultaneously, Orchids, through out time have captured our attention through their exotic forms, colour and variety. They spark ideas of desire, the feminine, fetish and commodity.
These ideas are exaggerated intrinsically by materiality, the “women’s work” of weaving, and the enlarged form; questioning the act of commodification and its’ repercussions.
