Chihuly's glass sculpture exhibition at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (2005), has been influential in the development of my practice. Designed to compliment their surroundings, the sculptures' shapes and colours mimic exotic floral forms.
I wanted to create floral designs that were not necessarily realistic representations of flowers. Instead, I began drawing expressively, using dyes and bleach to create a variety of shapes and textures reminiscent of tropical botanics.
