The Flower Dance Series

Introducing ‘The Flowers Dance’ series.

This series started in playfulness in gardens. 

I am continually curious about plants; the powers of herbs, the characters of trees, the radiant brilliance of flowers.

My curiosity is pulled to the plant and the conversation begins.

I mostly find the plants on walks, or in the gardens of my Dad and Grannie or sister.

These places are significant to me, they hold truths; where I’ve come from, where I am, and where I’m going. 

I ‘dance’ the plant along a flatbed scanner in a kind of painterly fashion to record a chance portrait. 

Each composition is unique and mostly unpredictable.

The images allow the plant to reveal an unseen side of themselves, awakening imagination and creative play.

The images always surprise me, I feel like I am forever meeting characters, forever peering a glimpse into a world that is only made possible between the scanner, human and plant. 

The flowers dances are visual poems that paint their own mystery. Somewhere in that dance, is myself, in the form of connection, fascination and participation.
