Fortune’s Flowers, 2025-26
Vintage bits of trim and glitz, wire, clay, papier mâché, paint, brass, sequins, beads.
40x24x30 inches

I combined my best friend's hoarded collections of vintage glitz with my own and added thrifted/antique materials to create a permanent floral arrangement for her store.

This is a 3-D interpretation of my hand-painted cyanotypes, and each flower can be removed and displayed individually. It was a challenge to make a sculpture from old pieces that is both elevated and durable. There are little creatures—a beetle, a bird’s head, and a hummingbird—nestled among the flowers.
