Focusing on isolated shapes and forms of the flowers, this series of paintings is an experimentation of how I can express the texture of the plant surface using mark-making or pattern. I think this could be moving towards the expressionist gesture - perhaps if I isolated these markings or patterns alone this could represent a form of pure abstraction, that still communicates the surface and idea of a plant.
I then collated these new forms of communicating the flowers and plants, into a formal composition - placing them within context makes it easily communicable what the subject is... therefore context is evidently an essential part of visual communication.
