Gran’s Plates (Series II)
Pressed flowers cast between Gran’s plates (glass) and tin alloy. The tiny alloy is spun around the plate using a pottery wheel.
Work about memories of my late grandmother - she had a garden with a path straight down the middle and two lawns of grass on each side shaped like butterfly wings where I would pick flowers for my mother. Flowers cast in metal represent the fractal memories of her flying around my mind when she passed away but also as a direct reference to the lawn of her garden and the flowers that grew in it and butterflies that flew around it.
Trying to create something tangible and concrete from these memories.
Recreating traditional ornate ceramic plates, replacing decals and hand-painted flowers with real ones but not using ceramics - instead, incorporating my metalworking practice. When combining pressed flowers with metal, they no longer appear like the real thing, almost like the paintings or decals I was trying to represent.
