New life from decay


Over a period of time I have been working on a series of drawings based on a bunch of tulips that were going over. As the flowers withered and drooped they took on twisted shapes, and began to look quite unlike their original forms. I made several sketches, enlarging the flowers to about 10 times their actual size and then used these drawings as a basis to explore and exaggerate the new emerging forms, constantly surprising myself with what appeared.
