Two New Pieces 2010

Dear Everyone:

I have two new pieces to show

you.

The first is my wallflower

series. The term wallflower

refers to being personally

sidelined by illness.

In this piece I use my own

photograph of a dahlia as a backdrop.

Laid the backdrop on a horizontal

surface like a table or desk,

scattered fresh cut flowers

across the image and photographed it.

The yellow flowers beckoned to me

at the grocery store florist section
and this dahlia backdrop spoke to

me for this piece. The yellow flowers

glowed like sunshine.

The wallflower images are

shown in a triptych with some

text. The text is from a recent

photograph of a storefront with

text covering the surface of the

window.

The second piece is a collage

using mostly my own photographs.

I will be taking some art courses

this fall which teach collage

so I am looking forward to learning

more.

Hope you enjoy these images.

Helen.
