In Lieu of Flowers

I created these works on paper from the past few years of loss and separation in our living history. Popular in Victorian times gifts of flowers were given as secret coded messages called floriography to express feelings that were forbidden in society. In lieu of flowers, I create color fields with flower petal stain as the medium in solid unbroken planes to focus on color and meaning as subject and object. What remains is a message of reconnection from the past to the present transitioning over time. For inquires contact my studio.
