Japanese Anemone Trio

I look forward to these annual flowers appearing in my garden. They are a firm favourite with their delicate petals and fine but strong stems. They bring elegance to any garden, always attract attention and can be relied upon to reappear every year. This piece focuses on the flowers, making them the focal point with their pure white petals and stylisation of the flowers’ intricate centres. But the buds are an equally fascinating feature of this plant and they have been added without detracting from the flowers themselves. They form a strong backdrop that projects the flower heads forwards, celebrating the flower’s significance. The colour palette has been kept mostly monochrome, with a pop of colour, to enable this elegant artwork to be placed in any living space, especially a small section of wall where it can be the focal point, or teamed up with similar artworks in a larger area. A timeless addition to modern, minimalist, or eclectic interiors alike.

The artwork has been meticulously hand-made using layers of cut, textured and coloured papers. The differing papers have been selected to add emphasis to the various parts of the design and to encourage one’s eye to be drawn to each part in turn. The silver pearlescent card is subtle, contrasting in terms of colour and texture against the white petals and adds sophistication and movement to the design. 

The light shimmers across its surface, showing a slightly granulated texture which will undoubtedly attract attention. Acrylic paints have also been applied to some parts in the centre of the flower, thus increasing the visual impact of those shapes and colours which are further emphasised by the subtle shadows created by the layered papers.
