This is a digitally enhanced version of an original piece from the flower abrasion series. The original piece of smashed cabbage and chard was scanned then a blue fading background was added. The leaves changed to pink, and the bits of the original plan remnants dried on the page and created these red saturated areas.

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.” -Artist, Kathie Gallion
