“THIS WORK IS ABOUT APPROACHING FLORA AND FAUNA BY FUSING BOTANY AND ANATOMY IN A SINGLE ‘FLOWER ON THE BONE’ METHOD. THIS PHYSICAL FLOWERING HEAD IS INVERTED INTO A DIGITAL VIBRANT EXPRESSION THAT EXPLORES THE CHANGING COLOURS OF OUR CURRENT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS AND POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE LANDSCAPES. THIS IDEA IS SIMILAR IN LIFE WITH THE EXPLODING ELATION OF WINNING AND DESPAIRING LONELINESS OF LOOSING.”
