'Dreaming Morpheus'
2013
In this body of work I explore a process that removes the pigment from the capillaries of flower petals, replacing the pigment with highly purified water leaving only the skeletal fibres and structural veins visible.
I believe it takes more courage to paint a simple landscape that it does to hang a side of beef in a gallery, this act of bravery is evident by the presentation of such an instantly recognisable subject and then to present it in an entirely new way. Originality is paramount even with something as common place as a rose.
C-Type print, mounted to polished aluminium
Framed behind ArtGlass AR in deep maple wood.
Editions of 10 in 60 x 60cms, 100 x 100cms & 140 x 140cms
2 Artists Proofs
