Upward Garden
Upward Garden
From the studio ~
These are flowers I knew from childhood: hydrangeas along our verandah, and the Morning Glory my Nan allowed to keep climbing. Here, their familiarity opened into a different feeling — the pleasure of stretching towards something simply because it draws you, without the heaviness of having anything to prove.
I constructed the arrangement upside down on string anchored outside the frame. When the finished image was turned, the vine’s natural drape became an upward reach, its tendrils climbing across the deep wine-red background. This piece now hangs in my studio, where it regularly stops visitors mid-step.
No generative AI was used in the creation of this work. All composition, editing and embellishment were carried out through deliberate artistic decisions and hands-on processes.
Print Details
This piece features my original photography printed on premium archival-grade canvas using museum-quality giclée printing technology.
The canvas I use is a 340 gsm poly cotton blend with a matte/satin finish. It is scratch, crack, & warp resistant.
The printing process I utilize uses water-based HP Latex inks and UV protection to product vibrant, long-lasting colors.
Framing Details
Your print will arrive framed and ready to hang.
The frames I use are called 'floater-frames'. I've chosen them for 2 reasons: they provide a clean, modern aesthetic that adds depth and dimension to the piece; and the box-like structure provides the option to sit the piece upright on a surface rather than hanging it.
When you look at the work straight on, the frame thickness is 1cm regardless of canvas size. This means that the frame edge will feel more prominent on smaller canvas sizes. From the side, all frames are 4cm deep, this means the front surface of the piece will sit 4cm out from your wall.
My frames are crafted from high quality solid oak or solid hardwood, from renewable sources, and comes pre-installed hanging hardware and rubber bumpers.
