Sally Cox's large flower paintings reconstruct a scientific botanical art
associated with Australia's colonisation, as metaphor for the position of women
who have traditionally been subject to the representations of "outsiders".
However, by appropriating this European outsider view of Australia, imbuing it
with layers of new meaning and, furthermore, by celebrating its decorative
possibilities, Cox symbolically reclaims and affirms the centricity of her own
female identity.
