Florilegium is an anthology of botanical encounters real and imagined.
It’s where the prolific wildflowers experienced during a Summer residency in Finland, meet the vibrant flowers I encountered in tropical Cairns on a recent Tanks Centre Arts Residency at the Cairns Botanical Gardens.
Through a process of gestural mark making, layering and subtracting, botanical encounters reveal themselves on an intuitive and responsive level to create this body of work.
