Bouquets of flowers hold an enduring beauty precisely because they are seasonal and fleeting: they gather the colours of spring and summer into a pageant of beauty that must be savoured in the moment, knowing it cannot last forever.
100 Flores celebrates this temporal exuberance of the flower bouquet, yet seeks to render it timelessly ossified in stone, as though the ephemeral beauty of flowers could be fossilized and preserved for eternity.
Though painterly in its appearance, this work was not created with traditional brush and paint. Instead, construction tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, chisels, and palette knives were employed to stamp, carve, and incise the forms that shape the composition. The resulting marks bear the evidence of industrial fabrication, adding texture and weight to the subject’s delicacy.
