“The new Botanical sculptures grew out of a desire to capture the essence of a plant by preserving it through portraiture. Each plant is harvested as it shares its bloom, brought into the studio, deconstructed, dried and reassembled. The specimen is then suspended within layers of composites and glass. The finished work has been recreated through the artist’s hand and dependent on the artist’s view of the specimen by observing in life, the plant’s structure, the result, a portrait of a flower.”
