Più di Cinquanta features State Art Collection works alongside a rich array of loans, including special pieces from Erickson's personal collection.

A highlight of the exhibition is Erickson's Hesperia Collection, a celebration of her creative predecessors. As Erickson says, it's a "homage to the women who were among the first to make art their profession in Western Australia".

Another key theme are works inspired by Western Australia's unique flora. Few pieces are literal translations, though. Instead, her pieces evoke the colour, form or habitats of individual species of plants as Erickson's works move with the body in joyous twinkling movement.
