MAY 3–JUNE 4 | Using an abstract-expressionist approach, The Fragmented Floral Series takes viewers to a transcendental place as emotions about death and rebirth emerge. An exploration of negative and positive space challenges the idea of the here and now with negative space symbolizing a void and an absence while simultaneously commanding a strong presence through repetitive pattern. Fragmented Florals is about a purposeful release of control, life after death, beauty in darkness and the emotive power of flowers. fashionado.net/fragmented-florals-series
