Micro flower series - red 1
I've been feeling very contemporary lately and I have been exploring new medium for me to work with. I have 'invested' in silk screening, I have my frame made up but I don't have any screen filler or squeegee so I have been held back from silk screening until I attain the necessary equipment. Since I cannot make any prints I have begun working with metal, sometime in the future I want to buy a welding machine, along with an air compressor but anyways, I can't weld so I'll have to self teach myself, same with silk screening, but it will be interesting. So I've been playing around with wires and aluminum to create shapes and patterns and I've found these flowers quite interesting, they never take the same shape, they're all different and unique, individual. This micro series I have going is part of my flower collection, the flower collection is my way of representing individuality being independent of shape, size and colour through a structural ironic metaphor of the natural beauty of a flower being re-created by man made synthetics, a flower made of metal, representing various individual identities made by one individual.
