Private collection, South Australia
During the 1970s Dora Chapman solely focused on silkscreen printing and the level of precision and detail demanded by the medium perfectly suited her own artistic strengths. Her works from this period are built on strong principles of colour, tone, and design, in a semi-abstract way. One of her works titled Stipa from 1970 is named after an Australian native that grew in Chapman's garden and this work is a lovely interpretation of the anthropomorphised plant.
Other impressions of this print are currently held in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; and Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide.
