My mum’s helping me learn the names of the flowers I’m using in my prints. Mum is the flower lady, traditionally trained in floristry at Horticulture College in the late 1960s.
To this day she is still able to recall the latin names, history and origin of many plants and flowers. It’s impressive… Flower Power! 🌼
The inspiration for this range of prints is rooted in my family history and the floral stories that weave through it. This fabric print was made with pressed stems of the Spiraea Billardii plant from my mums garden. It’s only just starting to bud so this created some interesting leafy silhouettes in the cyanotype photogram. In mid-late summer it will be full of tall pink fluffy flowers.
I’ve been making the most of the sunshine to create some larger prints. I’ll share more as this project grows 🌱
