Description: In Australian National I, an internationally recognised artist Sasha captures the nostalgic heart of Australian culture through an iconic biscuit beloved by generations. This pop art-inspired piece features six stylized Tim Tam wrappers in a rhythmic vertical arrangement, each rendered in a unique, muted hue. The repetition evokes a sense of memory, tradition, and shared experience. With a reference to Warholian aesthetics, the work transforms a humble biscuit into a cultural emblem, celebrating its role in Australian childhoods and the warmth of family life. Whether shared during school lunch breaks or as treats around the kitchen table, Tim Tams become a symbol of unity, comfort, and national identity. Signed and dated by the artist, Australian National I offers a contemporary take on Australian iconography - simultaneously personal and universal in its message.
