Recollection is a body of work focusing on floral landscapes, exploring the liminal space between reality and the subconscious. The flower images depict a bucolic vision that extends beyond the territory of dreams and the melancholy of lost happy memories.
The smooth sanded surface of the images is built by several layers of pastel drawing and spray paint, which shrouds the initial drawing like a Renaissance-style sfumato.
