Artist's Comments
Well because DA doesn't allow multiple shots of a single piece we have a little crop-fu. This is my final project in advanced book arts. If anyone remembers seeing random pressed flowers in my gallery this is their final home. The project was based on the idea of collections and however you would like to interpret that.
I ended up doing a collaborative piece with my mom. She loves native plants and we have a pretty extensive garden. So while I was away at college she found the flowers, pressed them and scanned them. I then used these images of pressed flowers to make small reduction prints of each one. THEN I cut out the flower with a knife and put them into this book like they were the real flower. heehee but they're prints. The cover paper was printed by me and the little labels were done on an old school typewriter. Edition of 2 binding is a drum leaf. This piece ended up being about my mom and how much I love her. |

You are right there is something interesting about the lino flower vs the real flower. How it is processed and changed. It's something I think about. Thank you for your lovely comment
