This plentiful pumpkin illustrates that there is treasure to discover inside many things and Kate felt it was apt for FiredUp4 as there is potential in every young person. This pumpkin revealing an inside space is a rare example of Malone’s pumpkin series, it combines imagery of a pumpkin, symbol of fertility, with a more abstract sense of nature inside. Malone always aims to emit a sense of the magic of nature and optimism in her work.
