I have always been very fascinated with flowers, these forms have appeared naturally and effortlessly in my sketches. It's remarkable how a simple arrangement of four or five blobby ovals rotated around a center is universally recognized as a flower.
My flowers are not botanically correct or realistic. Instead, they are gestural and organic, exploring the shared cultural understanding of what constitutes a flower. This motif is ubiquitous - found in tiles, textiles, architecture, and children's drawings. It's so ingrained in our culture that it's simultaneously ever-present and invisible.
This to me is pure abstraction and I set out to capture as much variety as I could, with textures, brushes, and drawing methods. In the end I am a traditional artist, extending his practice with code.
