This is one of the artist’s favorite pieces. Surprised at how these flowers appear to be pansies when actually they evolved from many multiple layers of red everblooming rose bits and yellow daisies. A balance of positive and negative space, the overall effect is calm and sweet.
Tenderness
Description
“This piece is part of a series I created with a process I like to call flower abrasion. Each piece begins with bits of leaves and flowers collected from my garden. I then arrange the plants on paper and pound them with a hammer to release their pigments. Sometimes a blob of color bleeds from the plant, other times the color is spit outward. Each time the result is unique and unpredictable. I use the pattern of pigments left behind by the plants as inspiration for my design which is drawn, painted, and colored on top.
