I worked on this piece on and off over a 4 month period as the plant from which I worked dried out and changed shape. I still have the plant which was part of a large bouquet of flowers I received in the autumn of 2025; it has faded and become brittle over time, but still holds a certain aged beauty which I continue to enjoy even in its fragile state. 

The colours of the piece speak to the colours this plant had in its heyday, and still holds a whisper of even now. 

The Vert de Gris collection features flowers against a deep, near black verdegris background, depicting both the delicate nature and organic geometry of the subject with a fresh lens.
