Colour inspiration


Fact

The general colour scheme of Rone’s installation in the next room takes its lead from the ceramic works of early 20th century, Geelong-born artist, Florence Royce, and flows into his choice of watercolours from the collection.

Art detective

Look for all the details in the room that are connected to Florence Royce’s ceramic patterns, or works that you think might be from the Geelong Gallery collection. Remember … Rone is working with reproductions or copies of the Gallery’s originals!

Like many families, Rone’s grandmother had a good china dinner and tea set, only used on special occasions! The consequences of breaking or misusing Gran’s good china were serious!
