Flowers Series
What could be more intriguing for subject matter than a flower?
To many a flower is nature's most magnificent creation. Artists have attempted
to capture its temporal beauty since the beginning of time. In more recent times
artists like Sir Thomas Hart Benton to Andy Warhol have had the desire to put
their personal stamp on this object. To do so, is to become one with Mother Earth.
In the case of myself as a computer artist, it is my goal to transform
the flower into another composition and metamorphosize it, to become more of
this world or perhaps possibly another. In a sense, it's like an American going
to Australia and seeing different flora and fauna for the first time. It is a
totally unique experience. The life of a flower is short lived. Its' beauty lasts
only but a moment, thus capturing a flower in full bloom is to capture a frozen
moment in time. One remembers only the positive energy. To transform a flower
and make it art, is to attempt to give it longevity, so others con enjoy its
highest brilliance of life for eternity. Art tries to endure nature.
