Lady Blue takes viewers on a journey inspired by the vastness of the ocean, weaving together a tapestry of folktales and symbols that resonate with humanity’s timeless fascination with the unknown. Central to this exploration are mermaids, who embody themes of transformation, mystery, serenity, empowerment, and the uninhibited spirit within the female form. Their symbolic resonance transcends cultural boundaries, offering a profound reflection of our shared fascination with the ocean’s depths and the secrets it holds.

Ferns’ artistic process is characterized by a fusion of materials and techniques. By layering thick linens, muslins, and wax, she creates textures that invite tactile exploration and evoke a sense of antiquity. Each creation is imbued with a nostalgic ambiance, paying homage to the timeless tradition of storytelling.

The title Lady Blue is derived from the song by Australian songwriter Emily Wurramara. As she painted this collection, listened to ‘Lady Blue’ repeatedly. It was during the very final stages of gathering her thoughts and ideas behind this collection that she felt compelled to explore the meaning behind Emily’s song: “Lady Blue is what my grandmother called the sea. The sea is majestic, is graceful, is mysterious and so alluring. I was thinking Ancient Mermaid kind of feel when I wrote this song.” — Emily Wurramara.

This unintentional connection between art forms allowed for a deeper exploration of shared themes and emotions in Ferns’ work.
