Artwork description:

Reflects the luminescence of the masculine form, with floral shapes and patterns. Its simplification allows the mind to discover the gently shaped details. Flower heads and stems are gently placed over the top of each other to reveal a new form.
With an interest in elevating the everyday overlooked plant Papaver somniferum that is all around us and in turn monumentalising their presence. I have explored and worked with plants in their natural forms, focusing on their perfected life cycle, vital aesthetic, nutritional and medicinal roles. Growing and nurturing the plant varieties and painting them from life, deepening my connection with the subjects. This piece is part of a collection, the works are created in different mediums of art combining the traditional drawn, painted, collaged to contemporary digital manipulation to create novel discovered art. The outcome expands the plants form and shape into abstracted floral pieces manifesting new realities.
