Jacky Winter is pleased to announce Freshly Wrapped the debut solo exhibition of Melbourne-based designer Alice Oehr.

A collection of silkscreened posters telling the story of fresh produce and plastic. For the city-slicker, layers of packaging have become like a second skin to our fruit and vegetables. Instead of pulling from the soil or plucking from a tree, we squeeze our produce from mesh bags, tear it from cellophane and unwrap it from protective layers of foam. We un-peel stickers, rub off wax and untangle elastic bands.

Trimmed, polished, stamped and sealed—it’s not as nature intended it, but this is freshness as we know it.

Alice Oehr is a designer from Melbourne. Her distinct colourful style incorporates her love of food, pattern, collage and drawing. Many of her ideas have made their way onto textiles, homewares, magazines, books, and even once as a series of 6ft tall Ancient Egyptian statues for a marquee at the Spring Racing Carnival. Alice’s work has been sought-after commercially by clients local and international.
