real grows from fake

(2019)

as someone who is constantly searching for inspiration for my work, an artist that called to me was the furniture designer, Annie Evelyn, who constructed a beautiful, vibrant sofa containing hand-crafted silk and paper flowers and wood, titled “Oshibana.”

her incorporation of handmade flowers into a vividly striking piece influenced me to apply her visual storytelling into a flower bed that i have designed and built using over 100+ hand-crafted tissue flowers and wood, integrating a visual theme of juxtaposition once planting white, fresh daisies to balance the rich, radiant piece.
