Inspired by my Colombian heritage and the work of 18th C. photographer Karl Blossfeldt, these wall sculptures aspire to highlight the beauty and biodiversity of plants native to Co lombia. Colombia is considered to have the greatest diversity of Passiflora in the world, with over 175 species inventoried and acts as an indicator of Colombia's biodiversity as the species interacts with and supports a plethora of organisms and other plants. Designed to hover off the wall and cast a soft shadow, these domes are each, uniquely hand painted with glaze, bearing unique colour applications and combinations, and merge my love of sculpture, watercolour and block-printing techniques to reveal elegant plant silhouettes as would be seen through an x-ray.
