Process

Wedding bouquet King as Smart Object-1.j

To start the process  I press fresh plant material into clay to make an impression. 

The pressed plant is then (carefully and painstakingly) removed leaving a detailed imprint.

The imprint is filled with extra dense plaster, highlighting the complex intricacy of each stem, flower and leaf. Some pieces retain the stained color of the clay it was cast from and some are hand painted with watercolors. All pieces are sealed with a matte varnish. The end result is a piece both vivid and gracefully preserved.
