Artist
Small sections of untreated flowers are left exposed within each grouping, allowing them to slowly fade and change over time, whilst surrounding oversprayed panels remain fixed and uniform. I think of these painted areas as holding a kind of colour memory rather than colour truth, with some works almost obliterating colour altogether beneath white or black.
Although the pieces explore ideas of permanence and preservation, I also want it to feel visually joyful and immersive, inviting people to enjoy the colour and structure whilst taking time to notice what’s real beneath the surface.
Colour & Contradiction
This body of work explores nature versus synthetic perfection, and our desire to control, categorise and preserve the natural world. Using pressed flowers alongside paint and modular gridded structures, my work references colour charts, botanical samples and systems of order.
