Details

In this artwork hands invoking the color of fire and autumn encompass a deep purple pattern reminiscent of sacred geometry designs. Intricate patterns intermix with real plants to create a combination of the organic with the structured, the planned with the spontaneous, the temporal with the eternal. 

This artwork is created from real pressed plants. Although they may seem delicate, pressed plants are surprisingly durable. Back in 2016, archeologists found a pressed flower inside a 3,000 year old axe handle dating from the Bronze Age. The flower was still in tact! In this artwork each flower and leaf has been painted with lightfast acrylic paint, which means the color will never fade. As long as it's handled with care, your artwork can last centuries, just like that 3,000 year old flower.
