When asked about this painting, Melissa had this to say: "Apparition is a narrative piece exploring a fictional relationship between nature and a manufactured toy.

About Melissa Haslam:
By painting exotic yet strangely familiar environments, Australian artist Melissa Haslam offers an escape to a romanticized, whimsical and yet slightly dark interpretation of the world. With an emphasis on narrative theme, her paintings are populated by beautiful, forlorn and mischievous women in fairytale-like scenarios. [www]
