This is a recent project that I really enjoyed - three artworks created for Terra, a group of beautifully curated, seasonally driven restaurants across New York City. These pieces, now installed in Terra's thoughtfully designed interiors, draw on the delicate elegance of florals to reflect the restaurant's connection to nature.
The Concept
Each piece in this series is a large-scale collage created from images of flowers sourced from vintage books and photographs. The flowers were carefully cut and decoupaged onto birch wood dots which I then arranged into vibrant, abstract compositions. Each artwork is interspersed with gold leaf dots which add moments of light and contrast across the artwork.
Reflections on the process
Creating this series was a joy - from sourcing the vintage florals to composing each final arrangement. It’s always a special honour to create work that lives in spaces where people gather to connect. I’m grateful to the Terra team for the opportunity to contribute to their spaces.
