These images draw from 17th century still life paintings, which combined flowers from multiple climates and seasons into one image. In my photographs there is a mixture of artificial and grown flowers exploring ideas around the globalization of the floral industry, the bioengineering of flowers and artificial nature. There is a play between the real and artificial and an inability to fully distinguish between the two, thus questioning their differences and similarities.
