“If the richness of mythology, the mysteries of the forest with their naked women and the intimacies of flowers start to make the air too rarified, we are brought back to earth with a gentle thud of domesticity and interior life: paintings of little cruets and other vessels meticulously sourced from second hand shops, and, especially, the breakfast she shares with her son each morning – avocado and vegemite on soldier toasts, with boiled egg. There’s a gentle humility in this and all Tai Snaith’s work. She dares to think deeply and randomly, to explore the heights and depths of humanity, but remains always connected with the realities of daily life.” - Olivia Meehan, 2025
