Notes
'The genre of traditional still life was teased apart and became the site to create this artwork. The imprints of flowers and shadow of a vase was created through cyanotype on treated cotton. This photographic method leaves traces of the physical form over which the still life was painted and further abstracted. The flow of golden threads implies heaven touching.'—Nelia Andrag
