Under the Ivy, Entrance to a Secret Garden

The garden is a sanctuary for my mother. I learned my love for plants and flowers because of her. When she became ill a few years back, I thought to create a series that would make her smile. The series explores abstract patterns that mimic the movement of leaves and petals, through reclaimed material collected from food packaging, cosmetics, and junk mail. Collaged into multiple layers, the refuse creates textured surfaces of bold colors.
