Enquire about this workI was first drawn to the delicacy of the flower in Atsuhiro Okada’s photograph. I’m naturally drawn to the art that nature offers us, and this image became a starting point for exploring its fragile forms through my own language of geometry, colour and relief.
Impermanence is close to my heart and my Buddhist roots: an appreciation of beauty while it is here, and an understanding that it is changing. This piece is my way of exploring that through form and shifting light.
For me, the delicacy of a flower holds both of these things at once. I can appreciate its beauty in the present moment while knowing that its colour and form will change. That awareness makes the act of looking more meaningful, a way of paying attention to what is here now.
In Still Becoming, that sense of change continues across the painted surface. As the light changes, attention shifts between the flat flower and the surrounding relief, revealing an image that is continually becoming. The work invites you to return to it at different times of day, noticing how the same form can offer a different experience.
“Within the vibrant pink and layered greens, I sense a quiet interplay of yin and yang, of the light and shadow reflecting the impermanence of flowers and leaves. There is something deeply moving about how the softness and fragility of nature have been translated into the sharp, structured forms”
Long shadows, maximum separation between facets. The geometry at its sharpest.
Shadows collapse. Colour takes over and the surface reads closer to painting.
Ridges catch, valleys drop away. The piece reads heavier, closer to sculpture.
