Fendalton Road

Original Medium: Acrylic on canvas

In Fendalton Road, memory is translated into colour, gesture and pattern. Inspired by the curtain and cushion fabrics in Anneke’s grandmother’s Fendalton Road home during the 1980s and 90s, the work draws on those fragments of domestic design that become unexpectedly embedded in our memories of childhood, family and place.

Soft blush, sage and warm neutrals move across the canvas in loose, overlapping gestures, punctuated by deeper olive, charcoal and delicate rust-coloured lines. There is something almost floral within the abstraction, a suggestion of the patterned textiles that inspired it without ever becoming literal. Layers appear worn, softened and partially obscured, much like memory itself: some details remain vivid while others dissolve with time.

Created for the ABA Spring 2026 Collection, Fendalton Road is a deeply nostalgic yet contemporary work, a celebration of the colours, patterns and ordinary details of home that quietly become part of who we are.
