Part of a collection of paintings featuring hand-painted wooden flowers and a contemporary way of approaching traditional still-life painting.
 
Most recently I have explored painting onto laser-cut wood. The process is cyclical and considered, and draws directly from my own sketches. Each wooden flower is sketched digitally and then refined down into a vector illustration before being laser-cut locally in Cornwall.
 
I am interested in the effect of isolation and suspension that a traditional still life is given by picking out and painting the flora and then framing this inside its own box frame. It it the idea of isolating a floral shape that I would like to explore through using Falmouth Art Gallery’s collection, and inviting members of the public to contribute to this on a large, collective scale.
