CUT

 

“Cut” mixed media on paper. A collection of found floral arrangements inspired by the still-lifes of Odilon Redon, Cezanne and Henri Fantin-Latour. In “CUT”, the photographic imagery and paint bleed into one another, only to be stripped away, revealing luminous layers that come into focus like a developing photograph. The dynamic blocking and fragmentation of the floral images hint at the transitional and transitory nature of life, while the interplay of overriding images imbues the flowers with an almost mystical quality as they are captured somewhere between the full vigor of life and the finality of death.
