I found these flowers on a walk one day, they were growing on the side of someone's fence. They were so spectacular, exploding along the side of the footpath. The comparison to fireworks were obvious.
I wanted to concentrate on the way the light falls and the patterns and details created by the eye when we look at things. Like fireworks, some parts of what our eye sees leap into focus. This piece is a study of the way that some details have a huge impact on us, yet others are insignificant.
This is large, dramatic artwork that would look wonderful in an entrance or on a prominent wall in a living space. It's also a very passionate and romantic work and for that reason, it would be ideal as a statement piece in a beautiful bedroom.
Originally created in 2020, I was never truly happy with it. It's now been reworked with highlights of metallic paint to give it the presence it always needed.
