The above link will take you to this series if you would like to view it. If you go to the page, and scroll down, you will see subheadings - Number 1, Number 2, Number 3, and so on. Right now, I've done through Number 4 for the series with plans to add more. Every now and then I'll update the series and will post the link every so often as well.

I realize this differs a bit from everything else posted here, so feel free to take it as blank space if you'd like hahaha - I won't be offended. This is a little personal side project for me, and I'm just keeping track of myself.

So I'm curious, the obvious parallel is pinned bugs or the obligatory frog dissection. Having recently gone throug a recent dissection (porcupine) I saw some obvious parallels but wondered what you 'saw' this as... is it a comment on bug 'collection' or a thought on capturing 'beauty'?

I like to think of you creating with flower petals ... desperately perishable - beautiful even after the end ? Do you chose them partly for the aroma ? I am fascinated by flowers graceful geometry - also as a medium for color in our world. Oh yes and their role in food for the body and the soul. ~ lovely day !

I suppose so...It's definitely not a comment on bug collections or anything like that. A dissection of sorts, yes. I didn't have any real strong idea though. Maybe deconstruction, destruction, something torn apart - I'd say it's a sort of concept related to certain words or feelings rather than a very structured idea for me.

I don't choose them for the aroma...more based on availability at this point. I've largely been practicing so far - which explains the very plain, reusable backdrop. I'm going to start expanding on the idea more using different flowers and backdrops/settings though. I do love how you can find different flowers that are structurally so different yet also very similar. I love the different textures they all have - though in that way too they are similar. I love the different symbolism involving flowers. So I'm happy that people do like the project as well :)
