Still Life
I am interested in the way dead flowers communicate a wonderful fragility. I constantly return to peonies - brilliant pink and lush when first purchased - they die slowly in my studio and in their state of decay, have for me, an intense beauty. They hold me with their faded glamour. I am drawn to the notions of loss and stillness they embody: the moment by moment history by which they lost their brilliant colour.
