Hifumillia United Kingdom
My work is stimulated by the transition in organic processes such as ephemeral forms and instability of colour in floral materials.
I specifically preserve plant materials including petals, florets and leaves which are coated with specialist resins and reinforced with fibre glass. The application is repeated about 20 - 30 times depending on the nature and characteristics of materials. I then present flowers as objects. Each stage of development of flowers - bud, bloom and fade - is impermanent yet beautiful. I aspire to capture the moment of fleeting beauty and eternal fragility of flora, and incorporate it into my work. My work is a way of rendering my aesthetic appreciation of life, and I also strive to deliver the fundamental essence of nature through my art work.
