Bokblomma series

 
In 2015 during a visit to Port Townsend, I found an old book in an antique shop - a Swedish science primer for students, published in 1898 - which had bizarre botanical diagrams the like I had not seen before. The images intrigued me and percolated for a while in my sketchbook, ruminations of works-yet-to-be. Beginning in the summer of 2020 and throughout the rest of the year, I was inspired to create this body of work as a fun exercise to relieve pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, an explorative stylistic cul-de-sac of wherever the work led me. In this series I have appropriated the found images from the Swedish textbook and seated each one in its own polka-dotted color-world. I like to think of them as a sort of fever-dream garden from the year nobody will soon forget.
