Painting: Fabric, Fiber, Textile on Soft (Yarn, Cotton, Fabric).

Flowers mark an occasion. Some happy: anniversary, congrats, new romance. Others, not so: funeral, get well, cheer up.

In this series, flowers represent the acute emotional occasion when life is whizzing past you. You’re standing there but life is not. Because of the emotional state, you can’t take in the details -- things are blurry and fragmented. You’re aware that things are moving, but you can’t grasp them because you’re in love, experiencing grief, or overwhelmed with joy.
