Blossom Print

My Inspiration I was inspired by the flowers blooming in my garden in July. I wanted to capture their colour, vibrancy and how they moved in the wind. I took copious photos of them. In tandem with these thoughts I thought about the ‘plastic, flower bouquets’ we place on graves. These plastic flowers will take longer to break down than the body within. “Please God help us invent ways to reconstitute this plastic which threatens our existence”. Process I initially dripped acrylic inks on the canvas; afterwards I built up a skeleton composition using my brush and paint. I began to consider how I could introduce my signature plastic leaves. I painted plastic acetate in tones and shades of green. I cut these plastic pieces and made foliage. In addition I painted the blossoms with expressive brushstrokes. Over three weeks I added and subtracted pieces of plastic and paint until I was happy with the composition.
