CASEY JEFFERY

Casey Jeffery’s nostalgic paintings are a celebration of Australian suburbia, transcending the mundane, humble home with psychedelic charm. Many of her paintings focus on the stripe – specifically the familiar striped fabrics of Brella window awnings found on the facades of suburban homes. Jeffery’s painting practice comprises ultra-smooth, colourful depictions of ornamentation characteristic to the post-war, brick-front houses of Melbourne suburbia, offering a nuanced reading of Australian domestic life. This body of work was produced by Jeffery whilst on three month residency in Kyneton. These paintings were largely inspired by her wanderings of the Macedon Ranges, observing flowers, the mountains and studying the various colours they produce when blurred into the landscape.
