🌿 The Story Behind the Artwork
Instead of a bouquet of flowers, imagine holding a piece of forest in your hands, roots, branches, and all. A Bouquet of Forest plays on this idea: a whimsical reimagining of a traditional floral offering, grounded in native textures and tangled life.
Drawn entirely with ballpoint pen over 49 meticulous hours, this piece invites you to linger over fine details, a celebration of natural abundance and the layered complexity of Aotearoa's bush. It’s both a tribute and a gentle reminder: the forest is not something to pick and display, but something to respect and protect.
