Further information
Craig Donald’s work deals with our understanding of the past. History and memory are dismantled and recombined, their images decontextualised and reimagined to form layers of meaning calling upon the viewers’ knowledge, memories and imagination in order to be pieced together and create a new narrative.

About this work: Elizabeth, Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth, then Queen Mother), accepting a gift of flowers in Australia 1927.
‘In Greek mythology, the Hesperides are the nymphs of the evening, or nymphs of the west, and they guard a garden of golden apple. Here in the drawing, the scene is cropped, the figures meld together, there is a carved feel, for a moment captured in statuesque form, as with many mythological figures.’ Craig Donald
