About this object
Acrylic on paper featuring red harakeke flax flowers. The background is white with flax stands and fibres outlined in deep navy blue.
Flax (D13) is one design example by Avis Higgs which incorporates highly iconographic New Zealand plants. The value of such designs lies in the simple stylistic representation of the plant rather than its botanical status.
