12X12 on Wood Board
Muted Blooms is a playful yet poignant exploration of memory and the "vessels" we use to hold our most cherished histories. Created on a compact wood panel, this work moves away from the traditional floral still life, opting instead for a dreamlike, flattened perspective that emphasizes texture and narrative.
The composition features a series of translucent, overlapping vessels rendered in soft greens and atmospheric washes. The "blooms" themselves are focal points of hand-torn paper collage, incorporating vintage-style illustrations—including a touching mother-and-child motif. These fragments suggest that the beauty we "gather" in life is often composed of our relationships and past experiences.
By utilizing a 12 x 12 wood board, the piece takes on a sturdy, object-like quality, inviting the viewer to look closely at the delicate graphite outlines and the rhythmic pink "petals" scattered throughout the scene. Muted Blooms serves as a gentle reminder of the quiet beauty found in the everyday and the stories we keep close to home.
